I do. One full size for my Model 3 and another for my Model X. They all take lots of space but they fit in the trunk nicely and with room to spare.Does anyone carry a spare tire for their Model 3? Will it fit in the trunk?

For general commuting, keeping a full-size spare at home is fine, if you have a way to get it if needed. Like, your spouse can bring it if you get stranded, and a tow service is going to take too long. That way you don't have to clutter the back of the car with a large object.
For long roadtrips, I'm like Shelburne. I carry a compact spare, mine's a Hyundai Genesis, which matches the Tesla's size. I also have AAA's premium plan, since if you do need roadside service, I think it's best to have one that has the widest service network. Having your roadtrip even slightly delayed can seriously ruin your holiday.

Same situation when I go grocery shopping and have the same weight in groceries. Risk management, I think the risk of the items in my trunk flying into the back of my head is low compared to other risks associated with an accident.This topic seems to come up once a year. I'm going to link you my post warning people about what happens when 60+ pounds of unsecured load comes barreling at you in a car accident unphased by the weak little back seat latch. Find a way to secure the spare if you can.

60lbs of soup weighs the same as 60lbs of tire.Physics, yo!
You pay $16 a month for AAA with unlimited tow? That’s bs. In Cali it’s $70 for 200 mile tow and like $30 a month extra for someone else. So that’s $1200 a year.I have a tire from Modern Spare. I haven't had to use it yet and I only load it into the trunk when I am traveling a long distance from home and need to be there on time. Otherwise, I have AAA roadside assistance with unlimited towing. I've had it for well over 20 years and have had to rely on it maybe 5 times. Three times were for flats which were quickly fixed. Once I had an electrical problem (not in my Tesla) and it was taken to the mechanic of my choice. Each time I called AAA, they sent a flat bed tow truck and it got there within the estimated time. I pay about $200 a year for it but it also covers my wife and my daughter. So, get a spare but also get AAA roadside assistance.
