Sorry, but you did not have a dead traction battery, however the

It seems that many consumer items, no matter the cost, may now be doing that,

Some companies do it to say money, others are doing it based on consumer demand

They can indeed extract heat, but I'm not so sure "efficiently" necessarily
applies.

Perfect. And expensive.
It is something I think I would need. I don't think a flat is likely out
on forest service roads. But damaging the rim could happen and having a
spare could save a 5 or 10 hour hike out to reach cell service and call
a tow truck. Not something I want to ever experience.
Hi Phil etc. I ordered this just to be safe. I’ve had my share of flats out
in the middle of nowhere , far far away from anything and a spare was a life
saver. They have others for the model 3

I don’t think it’s necessarily a question of AAA getting to you, but what can
they do if you have no spare and no local tire places have that tire in stock?
You’d have to be towed somewhere and wait for a tire to be shipped. And of
course this will happen on a Saturday evening.
