Is it normal for new cars to come without them?

Normal on some of the newer, smaller cars. My truck has a full size spare while my car has the little donut tire.

Don't have a spare or a jack. Car has self sealing tires.

I guess it’s an option I didn’t see was omitted. Why would you not want a spare?

Is it just to reduce weight and game the mpg requirements?

My truck does (2023), Wife's Audi(2019) does not.

The special run flat tires (don't work well when she runs into the curb) are expensive af to replace...

No doubt…but not having one isn’t very good planning.

Mine came with a compressor and gel to inflate a flat tire, no spare.

My 4Runner has one. My gf’s Acura does not, and I found that out the hard way when I got a flat in it and started to change it and realized I didn’t have a spare.

Supply chain issues. They will call and tell you when you can pick it up.

Yea, that’s what I have. Just looked for the first time. WTF is that going to do if I hit an alternator in the road?
