> Clearly a design decision by someone that doesn't use their pickup bed for picking things up. Seems like a reasonable engineering trade-off for an EV to me; unless you can figure out an equally aerodynamic solution with the spare under the frame. You want to maximize range all the time (by reducing drag), but you only rarely need to access the spare. If you badly need access to spare all the time and you're willing to sacrifice range 24/7 for it, I'm sure there will be after-market solutions, similar to bike-racks.
