I've considered signing up for AAA if I ever needed roadside assistance.

Unless Tesla's roadside service is cheap.
Good sam road side assistance is considerably cheaper the AAA. They have a 50% off deal now and you can sign up and pay in full for 3 years.

Bought a bottle jack and a take off wheel on eBay. I’ll just change the flat myself. I carry the spare in the bed.

So…do you patch it on the car or do you jack, remove wheel, patch and reinflate and replace the wheel?
I carry Tire Plugs Glue Tread and a Compressor and always plug my tire Punctures unless it’s a sidewall tear or puncture then use Glue Tread to get you home or to the nearest Service Station to replace your tire.

The eBay seller I bought this used factory takeoff wheel, tire and TMPS with under 1,000 miles on it, for $450 + $60 shipping & tax, he has them availble on occasion (he is in Atlanta, and ships quickly via Fedex) keep your eye on this seller, that I bought mine from
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ssn=niyek_ev&store_name=niyek&_oac=1&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211

https://www.ebay.com/itm/336286388209
" Tesla Cybertruck Factory 20" CORE Wheel / Factory Pirelli Scorpion ATR T0 "

I plan to just rotate this spare tire into the mix, as I rotate the tires, so all 5 wear evenly.
I could not see spending $1250 from Tesla.

I also bought the Spare Tire cover from RPMTesla

I then bought the same Fantik S9 from Amazon, was pricey, but I use it for other tires as well, since it has auto shutoff, and is easier than using my Harbor Frieght cheapo compressor, bought it on sale for $160
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQK4SRD8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

for a jack, I bought one with a built in Jackstand, yes, it's only 3-ton rated, but I am only changing one wheel. I actually bought 2 of these, so I can rotate my own tires, in my garage:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GJJZ5NI?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

I bought an inexpensive 120V 1/2" electric impact wrench from Harbor Freight, I already have a set of impact rated sockets, I paid $80, but now its on sale for $60, didn't want to depend on a battery for a once in a blue moon use tool, so AC from the Cybertruck will always work, this is for removal of lug nuts only.
https://www.harborfreight.com/85-amp-12-in-impact-wrench-with-rocker-switch-64120.html

I have an older 24" Torque Wrench, which I keep in the sub trunk as well (to tighten to the correct torque spec) Oh I also bought a tire repair kit, becasue they are inexpensive at $20, but that is just insurance

I was a Boyscout, their motto is "always be prepared" :)

Yes, I probably spent $1250, but its a custom designed kit, that I can use for tire rotations, and to inflate other tires as well, and the spare will end up getting more life on the set of original tires, by being rotated into the mix (it is the exact SAME Pirelli that my dual motor Cybertruck came with in August) I am good with this solution, for me.

New Cybertruck owner of only a week. I hadn't really thought about this until I picked up the Cybertruck and noticed there is no spare.
It's not like you can carry a donut :). What does one do if you have a flat? Will AAA do anything? Would you have to get a tow?
I invested in the Cybertruck spare tire and wheel kit. It comes with a bottle jack and a full-size wheel and tire (that you can use to also replace a worn out tire - so you only have to buy three next time).
I highly advise in getting this and keeping it in the pickup bed. Tie downs are included!

I carry a Full Size Spare on My Hunting Rigs but a Full Size Spare weighs too much and takes up too much valuable real estate for daily driving IMO. Maybe for Overlanding. I stick with a good compressor and Plug / Sidewall Patch Kits for daily use. It’ll get you home.
