Does the Tesla Model X have a spare tire?
I’m considering buying a Tesla Model X, but living in a city full of potholes and dodgy roads. I haven’t had much luck with tires on my previous vehicles. Does the Model X have a spare if I hit a pothole and pop my tire?

The
Tesla Model X
does not have a spare tire—and although they’ve been a standard feature on vehicles for decades, there’s a logical reason Tesla doesn’t include them.Here’s why you won’t find a spare tire on the Tesla Model X:
- Practicality
- Weight
- Lack of use
- Free roadside assistance
Tesla finds that most drivers don't mind the lack of a spare tire or need it if they get a flat. All Teslas come with a 4-year, 50,000-mile roadside assistance plan covering a flat.
To get roadside assistance for your Tesla Model X, follow these steps:
- Open the app.
- Select flat tires as the issue you wish to resolve.
- Confirm the details, such as where your car is located.
- Press request help.
- The app should give you a time frame of when to expect a technician.
If you have a Tesla without roadside assistance, you can purchase a spare tire kit—but they often come with a high price tag.
