Where to store summer tires?

Agree with the above.
However, side-to-side rotation is primarily beneficial if you see uneven left vs. right tire wear. That only happens if you have a major alignment issues. If you see that, the thing to do is get the car re-aligned, not just rotate the tires!

The benefit of same side front-to-back rotation is that it's super quick and easy DIY procedure. Loosen lugs on two wheels, jack one side of the car up, swap the wheels, lower the side, torque lugs back up to spec, done. Do the other side. Easily done in under 30 minutes, including a beer brake.

To DIY full side-swapping rotation safely, you really need to get the car up on the jack stands. Which is a minor challenge with Tesla Model 3, that does not have central front/back jacking points.

Any rotation is better than none!

Agreed.
Alas, a beer brake is an essential part of any wheel swap procedure.
If in doubt, see the manual!
