I'm at the dealership now and getting a patch, but I'm not sure where the puncture is located.
Do you NEED to get a new tire if the puncture is on the side, any downsides to getting a patch even if it's on the side? Thanks!

In the US, usually, a tire shop (or dealership) won't patch a tubeless tire, if the puncture is on the sidewall of the tire.
It's good you got the tire "patched" and not just "plugged". Personally, I don't trust plugs as a permanent fix.
Yes, YOU can patch a tubeless tire with a puncture on the sidewall, but, it weakens the tire. I wouldn't recommend.
Did you pick up the nail by power sliding ??....... maybe ..... maybe not ......
