Does the Tesla Model Y have a spare tire?

I pulled into my driveway yesterday and when I came back out to mow the lawn, I noticed that my front left tire was flat. Upon further inspection, I’ll probably have to change the tire. Where can I find the spare tire on a Tesla Model Y?

Unfortunately, the Tesla Model Y does not have a spare tire. 
If you have a flat tire, you can still get assistance by using Tesla’s 4-year, 50,000-mile
roadside assistance
plan.
Here’s how to contact Tesla’s roadside assistance:
  1. Open the app.
  2. Select “flat tire” as the issue.
  3. Confirm all necessary details.
  4. Press request help.
The app should give you a time when a
mobile technician
will show up to change your flat.
Teslas don’t come with spare tires because, according to the company, research shows that most drivers don’t use them. Omitting them creates more room in the car—but it’s sure inconvenient if you find yourself in need of a spare!
