In the last 20 years, all my tire punctures have been from nails or screws, five or six all total (all on previous ICE vehicles - none on my i3) , and all were slow leaks that adding air would keep the tire driveable for the day. And with the TPMS system, always lots of warning as soon as a tire starts losing a little air. Twice I found a tire 'very low' after being parked all night, added air, then drove to work and back before stopping at Discount Tire for a free patch. Never had a catastrophic flat that would have needed a spare tire swap since TPMS - what destroyed tires was driving on them when you didn't know they were low/losing air/already almost flat - that no longer is an issue with TPMS.  Invested in a small tank air compressor for the garage for quick tire inflation when needed instead.
