350h - where's the spare/jack/fixoflat ?

Or in the future purchase a car with one installed

And put your cargo where, since you don't have a hidden place to store the spare tire. I realize there are a lot of Lexus Fanboys here with the attitude of "If we were meant to have it, Lexus would have given it to us." and if they make a decision not to give it to us then there's no possible reason we should want it. But, quite frankly, this no spare thing is simply bull****!! As much as cars costs now, why should we expect to have to spend yet another $500 plus dollars just to have a damned spare tire???

I would’ve liked to have had one, but we all knew it didn’t come with a spare when we purchased it, right?

Drive another 50 miles
Run-flat tires enable the vehicle to be driven even if the tire pressure drops due to a puncture. The vehicle can be driven, with due care, under most conditions, up to approximately 100 miles at speeds under 55 miles per hour when the tire is completely flat.

Audi Q3 no spare
Macan no spare
Mercedes GLA no no spare
When too many motorists are stranded. Not enough road service. Only one manufacturer offers a spare maybe things will change. The GV70 comes with 2 fobs and a spare.

I personally would take the car back if this issue is that critical. I’m sure Tesla or some other company will sell you a car with a spare

I suspect that few will be within 50 miles of a destination except in town. On highways the 50 miles is more to drive to somewhere safe where you can press that SOS button and get a dealer out to fix the car. If that happens too many times, Lexus costs go up - then they might go back to decent equipment and service.
You could always make a point by driving around to the dealer like this:

I love driving our NX F-Sport and in my opinion the RF tires are way quieter and ride better than I thought they would when we bought it....especially with the 20" wheels. If it was up to me I wish it came with a jack and spare tire. We've taken it out of town several times on relatively short trips (3 hours or less) and I have a can of fix a flat and a portable air compressor that I carry with me. That said, if we go on a longer trip or somewhere where we will be more remote, we take our 4Runner.

CAN FIX-A-FLAT BE USED TO TREAT PUNCTURES IN RUN FLAT TIRES?
We do not recommend installing Fix-a-Flat into run flat tires. Run flat tires are not designed for tire sealant as the run flat tire structure was specifically created to indicate a flat and still be safe to drive on for a short period of time. Additionally, some run flat tires have a foam insert to help support the run flat concept. If the tire does have the foam insert, sealant will be absorbed in the foam and will not reach the puncture hole.
