What should you keep in your Tesla?
No spare. Keep the pucks a shop will actually use, Tesla’s 3.0 compressor + sealant, and a J1772 adapter if the frunk is empty. That is the kit. Not a packing list.

The three that earn a hole in the frunk
Jack pads. Spigen four-puck set. Measure the lift hole — some 2024–26 cars are ~19 mm; older are ~24 mm. Shops miss the hole and dent the battery rail. Not a tire inflator.
Tesla tire kit 3.0. Compressor plus sealant. Temporary tread repair only. Sidewall still means a tow. Check the frunk before you buy another. Not Fanttik, not a USB inflator.
J1772 → NACS adapter. Tesla’s OEM adapter is included with every new Tesla delivery — many cars already have one in the frunk. If it is missing, Lectron is the ranked third-party pick (UL 2252, AC only, about $50). Not DC. Not Supercharger. Not CCS. Skip $17 uncertified dongles.
Not day-one in the trunk
A cordless inflator on extras is not the Tesla Shop 3.0 kit — pair, don’t replace. A cable holster lives in the garage, not the car. Mats, a screen protector, and a console tray are buy-first accessories, not roadside kit.
The rankings
We don’t invent a Tesla Shop dollar for the 3.0 kit or the Mobile Connector. Method.
