2021 Tesla Model S Spare Tire
The Tesla Model S, an advanced and innovative electric vehicle recognized for its performance and safety features, does not come equipped with a traditional spare tire. Instead, Tesla provides an electric tire inflation kit with sealant that can temporarily repair small punctures, ideal for reaching a service station or tire repair shop. This method aligns with Tesla's focus on efficiency and weight reduction, as carrying a spare tire adds extra weight that can impact the vehicle's range. The standard tire sizes for a Tesla Model S vary depending on the model and configuration - 19-inch or 21-inch wheels - and the exact dimensions can be found in the vehicle's user manual. For those who prefer having a spare, third-party vendors offer suitable spare tire kits. However, these should only be used for emergencies and short distances, as driving extensively on a spare can detrimentally affect the car's performance or cause uneven tire wear.
2021 Tesla Model S comes with 2 OEM tire size options. Select the original equipment the tire size installed on your vehicle to see all spare tires that have roughly the same tire diameter and can be used as a temporary replacement in the event of a flat tire. Remember that load carrying capacity of the spare tire must be the same or higher than the load carrying capacity of the original equipment tires in order to safely support the weight of your vehicle. Refer to vehicle owner's manual or contact Tesla dealership to confirm the correct 2021 Tesla Model S spare tire size.
