Make the spare tire on the back of the Traveler optional.

Rear rack is option on 33" but required if get 35's.

And the rack is removable, just to add. It was taken off during the night at its reveal.

And 33” tire is mounted under the body if you don't want the carrier.

Don;t worry, it is likely going to be optional. The prototype they showed is the "maxed" out version.

This is the key - skipping the tailgate-blocker isn't as great without an alternative way to carry spare. Even compact spare if necessary to fit underneath.

Something else to consider, backing into Tesla Superchargers. I travel with a storage box on my tow hitch on my "Y" and sometimes the cable barely can reach charge port due to the charger being dead center in the parking spot. Not a deal breaker.
