Spare wheel options with current Model S

[cashie]

Ive read the threads on spares but I’m a little confused with frunk sizes etc.
what’s the current best bet for a spare for a current Model S (single motor)?
I’m guessing nothing will fit in the current size frunk?
What’s the best bet to get something that will clear the front brakes and where is everyone storing it?

Very few carry a spare. Mostly we rely on roadside assistance.

My setup for outback touring (and even urban driving). I have tried 4 different places for the spare and this is where I settled !

If I were to fo to that much trouble I would get a tire plug kit. Also a low profile jack and one of the $50 low profile eBay Lego style jack blocks. Could be hard to get a jack in on some roadways on a full flat otherwise. I think hockey pucks are less space than the blocks.

Blocks are for workshop 4 point hoists which generally have a large round steel pad with raised edges which can overlap and damage the battery.

He’s a chauffeur and feels he needs a spare in case of flat to minimise down time.

That’s an option, thanks. Is anyone using a temporary spare?

I carry the Tesla compressor and goo, plus a few different tyre repair kits. Best one for a fast temp fix is a small plastic screw that you screw into the hole and snap off the head. Enough for you to drive to get it fixed properly. Other ones use rubber plugs and glue and are a bit more secure.
