Fark, I'd have ditched a car that needed that obscenity.

When ordering some new cars, the standard now is to give ye an inflator, not a spare wheel.
I was at a Skoda dealer showroom the other day and overheard a salesperson quote a customer £250 for the (space saver) wheel and the other support gubbins.
Come to think of it, Since I've driven a few hundred on mine, I ought to find a new one.
Some of the smaller Ford models e.g Fiesta had the spare in a cradle under the boot floor, unfortunately it became a target for theft as I found out to my cost.
AIUI Teslas have two boots, one at each end. Comes of not having a damn great IC engine...

In practice, the motor/s, batteries and ancillaries tend to make up for not having an engine in terms of space.

The Telsa3 seems to have a decent hatchback, but the frunk might make a useful foot spa.
wagga wagga isn't stupid enough to allow cars on the road without a spare wheel....neither should we
what is a frunk?
a froot ? ...
Yes. Mine is a Zafira and Vauxhall brought out a security device for the spare wheel.
A horrible Amercanisation - Front Trunk.
Then let's not use it.
Would you prefer froot? I’m happy to call mine a frunk.

Wrong, as always. Plenty of current cars don't have one.
Is that the wee running down your leg again ?
A trunk at the front, stupid.
We don't need that kind of sexual innuendo here.
Caravans may be thing of the past with EVs. :)
Half (or less) the range per charge towing a van. Charging points only designed for cars disconnected from the van so a recharge on route is going to be a complete PITA.
A froot?
There's a shortage of froot, I'm told.
Jimbo does, he only has a microdick.
