Typically no — Tesla vehicles do not include tire pucks or a full spare tire. Most models ship with a tire repair kit (sealant and a compact air compressor) instead, and an optional space-saver spare wheel kit may be available in some markets or configurations.
Understanding what applies to your car requires checking the specific build and regional options. The exact contents can vary by model (Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y) and by country, so consult your owner’s manual or your dealer for your VIN’s configuration.
What comes standard on most Teslas
Before outlining the default equipment, it’s important to note that the typical emergency setup replaces a traditional spare tire.
- Tire repair kit with a sealant can
- Compact air compressor
- No full-size spare tire included in the trunk or under the floor
The sealant kit is designed to seal small punctures and enable you to drive to a service location for a proper repair.
Model-specific notes
While the general approach is consistent, some models or regional configurations may differ in how the emergency kit is packaged. The exact contents and storage location can vary by year and market.
Variations by model and market
The presence of a spare wheel or the precise emergency kit depends on model and country. Here is a general overview observed in recent years.
- Most Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X vehicles sold in North America and Europe use a tire repair kit rather than a spare tire
- An optional space-saver spare wheel kit may be offered as an accessory or included in certain regional packages, depending on availability and model year
- Availability and contents can vary; verify with your dealer or the VIN-specific documentation for your vehicle
If you want a back-up option beyond the standard repair kit, you can purchase a spare wheel kit from Tesla or third-party suppliers, but availability depends on your market and the exact vehicle configuration.
Summary
Bottom line: Tesla generally does not include tire pucks or a full spare tire as standard. The default emergency equipment is typically a tire repair kit with sealant and a small air compressor, with the option to add a space-saver spare wheel kit in some markets. Always confirm the exact contents for your vehicle’s build and region.
