Flat Tire Night Timeline

I bought an app called Tessie a while ago that provides a lot of tracking data for my Tesla Model S. From its logs, I can figure out the timeline from last Thursday.

The total trip from work to home was 3 hours and 59 minutes. The scariest part was sitting on the shoulder for an hour and a half, and watching tire shop guy look for a tire that would fit my car.
