So where do I get a spare.....???

[@GabrielUribe1432]

What about the TPMs? Does that have to be reinstalled?

[@Bathtubcrocodile]

Soooo.... Like changing tire on any car. Except for the puck thing?

[@bobnicholas5994]

Does this require a special jack?

[@evuniverseCOM]

No special jack is required, but you'll want a set of jack pads at the lifting points to protect your car. shop.evuniverse.com/products/4-piece-lifting-pads-for-tesla-model-s-3-x-y?_pos=1&_psq=4+Piece+Lifting+Pads+for+Tesla+Model+S+3+X+Y&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Pretty shocking there is not a spare. That’s a pretty dumb decision.

[@evuniverseCOM]

Not including a spare tire is a decision that quite a few of legacy automakers have been making as of late.

[@wisdomandlove1661]

@@evuniverseCOM do you mind saying why you used the word legacy for the automakers?

[@ccates98]

If you carry a spare tire, then you're carrying a lot of extra weight all the time which will reduce range. Still, they should at least include a tire repair kit to help get you back on the road.
