Should have thought about what people think of when they hear “City Car”.I was in the first delivery batch of model 3 LR AWD back in Sep 2018, I had the OEM tires removed and put winter tires on. I was able to get a 2nd set of model 3 take offs in ~Jan 2019 that I had the OEM MxM4s mounted on for summer. I imagine take offs will be available fairly quickly. I drive all over AK and like you I’m ok not having a spare on the 3.
As for a model 3/S being city cars. I’ve driven both all over most of the paved road system in AK (and my S was a early 240 mile base model) with no superchargers of any type in the state. Obviously super chargers would make the longer stretches easier (as in the ~400 miles from Anchorage to Fairbanks). But completely doable charging at RV sites.
I just mean they are unlikely to spend a bunch of time on chunky forest roads or off-roading. Both the 3 and the S are awesome for cross country driving on pavement.
