What do you do without a spare?

  In the case of Tesla, you call Tesla Roadside. For other cars, you use the fix-a-flat kit or call AAA/other roadside service.

  The Tesla has somehow gotten 2 flats in 3 years / 50k miles. I attribute that to racking up commute miles on heavily travelled/littered urban freeways. First one, used roadside, wheel+tire delivered to us but it took an hour as it was in the middle of rush hour. Still had to sort out the original tire and return the loaner from Tesla. (tow company they contract with stocks Tesla loaners, I guess). The other was going low slowly, caught by TPMS, just dealt with it at my leisure. Other car without a spare, had a flat once in 15 years, it was sitting in my driveway, dealt with it in the usual way. Other other car without a spare came with runflats but I replaced with "normal" tires. I carry a plug kit and a compressor, and pray? But normally, AAA or similar. I have roadside through my insurance and also separate AAA coverage. On long trips I try to make sure I have cash to pay local helpers/tow trucks/etc.
