Will the Model S/X have a spare tire & if not, how is that ok?

I assume you used some JB Weld on the wheel too, right?

But of course Jag! :biggrin::biggrin:

Thought about just grinding the tip flush with rim and cold welding it since it seems that just about everybody is welding dissimilar metals these days but I was somewhat concerned about the integrity of the intermetalic transition zone.

btw, I am glad it didn't penetrate the sidewall making it irreparable.

I am very old (as in using a walker to get around) school and have experimented with M-B, Land Rover, Bentley, and both 18 (steel) and 19" (alloy) BMW donut wheels as I prefer to be self-reliant. I have always carried a light weight donut spare along with various other "equipment" since early '13 in the S.
