A lithium 12v battery booster, just incase the 12v dies, not heard of this happening for a little while, but has been an issue in the past.

 

tire gauge and air compressor, at least then you can nurse a slow tire leak on the road. I also like to carry thermal blankets - small and inexpensive - as well as water bottles. Your climate may vary.

 

What’s wrong with the air compressor that comes with the car? Or don’t they deliver the p2 in NA with the air compressor?

Be grateful your not driving through France when I checked the list of requirements last time I went I decided to fly instead cheaper then getting everything for the car lol. Then I got told it’s very unlucky if you get caught for not having all those items in the car. (I won’t bore you with the list).

 

Mechanics gloves to prevent bloody hands when digging out the TCAM battery.
10mm socket wrench to remove 12V battery connector
Flash light to find/see the TCAM battery (or use cell phone for that instead)
Larger screw driver to free the TCAM battery from its "sharp metal prison".
Trim tool to remove cable tie anchor.
Small screw driver to move the small tab to release the TCAM power connector.
Band aid (for the bloody hands if you do not use mechanics gloves)

 

Have you not yet installed the remotely mounted TCAM battery disconnect switch?

 

You really only need one tool -- your cell phone. If you get stuck for any reason that your entire toolbox can't fix, you can call CS and get them to help you back on your way.

 

I appreciate your optimism about the quality of cell coverage in the US.

 

Items that I carried on my recent road trip (the ones that have been used):
-Lectron Tesla adapter
-Flashlight (headlamp). It needs to be a hands-free flashlight, so a headlamp. This way both your hands can be used to work on something
-Tire pressure gouge
-Warning triangle
-Screwdriver set
-Tape for covering the Polestar charger's flashing LED

 

Perhaps a 12v beer cooler ?

 

I have a small bag for emergencies in my cars:

• 4x High Vis vests (2x adult + 2x child)
• 8x Rain ponchos (4x adult + 4x child)
• 5x Emergency foil blankets
• 10x Lightsticks, white
• 1x Head mounted flashlight
• 1x Duct tape
• Assorted fuses
• Wet wipes
• Map of Europe (yes, a dead-tree version)

I also carry:

• jump starter and wrench to disconnect battery
• tyre inflator
• first aid kit

All these fit in the frunk along with the charging cables so I forget they even exist!

I keep a Swiss Army knife under the armrest that often comes in handy. I don’t think I need any other tools.

 

I would add to the list - some cheapo tyre plugs. Might never use them but just in case you get stranded with a puncture, can't get recovery service, and/or the gunk/sealant doesn't work it could give you an extra repair option.

 

I carry a few battery modules around, you know, just in case I need to replace one if I get a propulsion error 🤣

 

Adding-on to what others have suggested.

-Emergency Medical Kit: tourniquet, large batte dressing, medium battle dressing (Israeli), Kerlex gauze, QuikClot gauze, Epi-Pen, trauma scissors, bandaids, 2-6 cravats, radiant barrier shock blanket, 2 SAM splints, 2 4" ACE wraps, 4"x4" gauze, roll 1" silk tape, 2 occlusive dressings

-2 liters water, 1-day shelf stable rations (energy bars etc), equivalent USD $50.00 notes

-tow strap, multi-tool (Gerber, Leatherman, etc), head-light, flashlight, extra batteries for lights

-UL listed 60a Tesla (level 2)-to-J-1772 adapter, possible some adapters for 220v-240v RV hook-up receptacles, 120v 30' extension cord

All of this should fit below the rear trunk deck and/or in the frunk if packed correctly

 

Anticipating the apocalypse? 😂

 

I carry a tire plug kit in each of my cars: the little plug strips, some rubber cement, the hole reamer and a plug insertion tool, a razor blade or x-acto knife, and a pair of needle nose pliers. Naturally, the car's compressor, jack, and tire iron are also needed for tire patching. But pretty much anything else can be handled by a cell phone.

 

Have a plug kit just like yours in all my vehicles as well.

 

I can't see myself on the side of the road trying to plug a tire. I might use that gizmo with the pump if I'm not on an interstate shoulder, but after that it's the cell phone.

 

Just food for thought. I keep a spring loaded center punch tool aboard in the center console, in a pouch along side a Leatherman - in the event the car ever ends up in water, or any situation where I need to egress through a window (or glass roof). It could also be used to assist someone else or an animal trapped in a vehicle.

 

I remember reading somewhere (maybe it was on this forum!) that in the Netherlands it is required to keep a glass breaking tool (looked like a hammer to me) in your car for just such an emergency. Makes sense there as flooding is an obvious risk.

 

Makes sense there as flooding is an obvious risk.

And every road is within 50ft of a canal. 😆

 

What do you need the socket wrench and screwdriver for? T-cam reset is just a push of a button.

 

It seems that doesn't always work. There are several other threads showing how to disconnect the 12V battery and the TCAM backup battery, which is what those tools are for.
