Is this a Spare Tire option?

2012 MS here. Recently swapped 21" for 19". Can I use one of the 21" tires as a Spare? Would think so - same height, lug nut pattern, etc.

Should work...but then you'll need a jack as Tesla doesn't have one.

Thx. Hopefully it won't be needed.

I got spare tyre of Opel Insignia (2019) for my Model S 2015. They have same wheels diameter. Got it in local scrape yard for 30 euro only. Well fitted into the frunk.

Fits in the frunk!?

Have you tried it? I experimented with a different wheel and all seemed fine until I drive and heard troubling clunking noises.

I'm not sure how to attach photo in this forum but just beleive me - it perfectly fit into the frunk. I placed wheel facing down and left my jack and other spares in the wheel. Yes, in this case frunk became almost unusable for anything else but size of the trunk well suits my needs.

And yes I tried it on the car. SInce it's high is less than original wheel - no problems came up while driving. To be honest I didn't drive more than 2-3 km just to try the wheel. There could be ABS error appeared due to various wheel sizes on the same axle but I didn't go that far to verify it.
