So this wouldn’t work with Model 3, then.

All the dual motor cars have a much smaller frunk/front and so the spare will not fit.
I haven’t seen the frunk/front in a single motor 3.

Thanks. I forgot about that. No need to repeat. Exactly the same now.

Have not seen a model 3 close enough to answer the question.

On a Model 3, even a deflated 18" spare tyre will not fit inside the frunk.

In Model 3, the froot/frunk is the same size regardless of whether it is a single or dual motor variant. And it’s much smaller than the froot/frunk in Model S.

There is a size difference in the froot/frunk only between single and dual motor Model S. I don’t think Model X was ever made without dual motors.

If anyone was planning an out-of-the way road trip and was concerned about what would happen if they got a flat they couldn’t fix, it might be prudent to buy a naked spare tyre, which possibly could be stashed in the Model 3 frunk with a bit of bending. While you would still need to be towed to the nearest town, at least you have the tyre for them to put on the wheel, to avoid the hassle of them not having your particular tyre in stock and being stuck for a couple of days. Just a thought.
