Model Y Hitch Spare Tire Carrier

[Resist]

Just curious if anyone here uses a hitch mounted spare tire carrier to keep a spare tire for long trips. I bought a spare and hate how there really is no place to store it, without cutting up or drilling into my car. And it really needs to be secured and not just sitting in the back.

There was a post on Reddit with pictures from someone who did just this.

I wonder if using a platform to hold the tire would be more efficient against the drag and would avoid hidding the license plate?

I'm sure a plate can be placed on the spare tire on any carrier, but I kind of like this one.

FSD will not work.

Same problem than with a bicycle carrier: Because of the rear camera obstruction,
FSD might make a sudden jump left or right thinking of a possible rear collision.

I have this problem every time I try using FSD when I carry bicycles. This is not fun
and even dangerous, especially if you have a car coming in the opposite direction.
