Hello! Just took delivery last month of my MY. Love it! I've gathered all the necessary adapter charging cables, floor mats and a 240v charger in the garage. I also have a small air compressor and a plug kit in the frunk. My question is old school thinking. Will a Kumho donut spare tire work, as long as I have the correct bolt pattern? I've done a few 300+ mile trips and feel the need for a spare "Just in case". Not posting to debate the need for a spare, just thoughts on an emergency spare.

You could try something like this:
It's close, looks like they're trying to use same tire from model 3 as it's an 18"--it's only .3 inch shy of stock diameter and would be OK for short use.
Another option is to try and buy a spare from another owner who upgraded their rims/tires--I've got 4 sitting here
Not sure the donut would be much better as the diameter has to be close to be useful

If you were in my area I would buy one from you.
