Spare tire

I have EV sports line , it fits the frunk and the the shelf can still cover with no bump.
 
EVSportline, Modern Spare, or EZSpare will all work.

OK, what's the consensus on the best spare to buy?

There are about 4 spare tire options specifically designed for Lucid. I went with EV Sportsline spare because I think it looks the best. Otherwise, they are all essentially the same. The spare tires are all the same size and should just barely fit in the lower well of the frunk with the cover in place.

I just ordered the EZ Spare but didn't order the accessory jack. I am looking to get a three ton jack, are there any specific brand recommendations? Do I need the rubber bumper on top of the jack (advertised to be intended to be used with Teslas) or does the jack fit into a cutout underneath the car? I don't see any lug wrench in my truck where the tow bar sits so I need to order one of those, and nothing listed on the Lucid accessories/parts website. I will reach out to their Parts Department unless someone has an aftermarket recommendation? Thanks!
 
I suggest you get the jack that was being sold with the spare you purchase. I purchased my spare from EV Sportsline and the jack that came with it works perfectly with the Lucid Air.

Get a lug wrench. Be aware that ground clearance with normal tire pressure is low, and with a flat tire is too low to fit a jack under the car. You will need an air pump to inflate the flat until you can place the jack. I got a compact rechargeable air pump for $40 at Costco. It fits in the glovebox, and it works very well. If you cannot inflate the flat, I believe that the chassis is stiff enough to use the other jack point.

I’m sitting on the side of the road with a flat. I ran over a pothole with the right front tire and about 20 minutes later, my tire pressure sensor went off. I was able to pull over into a gas station to swap my EZ Spare onto the car. I jacked up the car only to discover that the socket wrench heads included with the jack are too SMALL for the lug nuts on the 21” tires. Ugh!! Please learn from my experience and get the appropriately sized wrench head. I’ll keep you updated as I wait for a tow to the nearest service center (Torrance)

BD, feel your pain, I had same problem in Philly last summer, I didn't have a spare, Gonna look for one of those ez spares. They couldn't get a tire in that market (Philadelphia) for 2 days and found out rim had dent in it as well. add a week, had to drive home in rental and drive back (from WV) a week later. my wife won't drive the car now. ugh
 
This is a great and helpful thread. I recently set up my wife's car with a full sized spare tire, and I took the time to try everything out--jack, lug wrench, etc. It was shocking how none of this stuff worked like I thought it would. The lug nuts were the wrong type for the wheel, the lug wrench I had didn't fit the lug nuts, etc etc. You pretty much need to go through a complete rehearsal in the garage to make sure you have everything you need.

I like the old days better, where the car came with everything you needed to change a tire.
