Teslas, like most modern cars, do not have spare wheels. You don’t even get a puncture repair kit in a Tesla! So I carry various puncture repair equipment which I’ve covered in this video https://youtu.be/H38IlTwZfFs?si=U2PahFzRv_Uefu1Z
However, I’ve now added a space saver spare wheel to my arsenal. So I have the option of repairing a puncture or replacing the wheel completely. In this video, I show you which space save spare tyre I purchased and the tools (i.e. scissor jack and brace). I also fit it to make sure that it fits okay over the brake caliper and also test the tools out. This is a good idea so you’re not caught at the roadside. As the Tesla wheel nuts are torqued to 175Nm, you need to make sure the tools you carry are up to the job.
I purchased a steel space saver spare wheel as they are cheaper than the aluminium spares like the Modern Spare or Road Hero. It also has an added benefit in that it’s narrower and will be easier to fit under the boot floor – which is coming up in a future video.
