TESLA MODEL 3 - ULTIMATE TESLA SPARE TIRE KIT

EV Channels Review

This video presents a comprehensive DIY approach to creating an "Ultimate Tesla Spare Tire Kit" for the Model 3, offering a cost-effective alternative to pre-packaged solutions. The reviewer meticulously details eight essential components, including a tire inflator, plug kit, 3-ton scissor jack, deep socket, a Hyundai Genesis spare tire, jack pad adapter, ratchet straps, and a tire bag. Key advantages highlighted are the significant cost savings compared to the Modern Spare kit and the practicality of each item for roadside emergencies. The reviewer emphasizes the importance of a robust scissor jack and provides detailed instructions for safely changing a tire, including a clever workaround for low-profile jack points using a steel tie plate and felt pads. While the video focuses on the DIY kit, it also notes a critical compatibility issue: the performance brakes on the Model 3 require additional clearance, making this specific spare tire solution incompatible with performance models. The overall verdict is positive for non-performance Model 3 owners seeking a reliable and affordable spare tire solution.
