If you don't know how to change a tire/wheel, you don't need to even be behind the steering wheel. It's not exactly rocket science. I mean the owner's manual breaks it down barney-style for you.

And my 2015 Audi came with a donut and all the equipment to change it out. And that's with it being a full time AWD (Quattro) vehicle.

Hey you'll find no argument from me here. Maybe the most useful class I took in HS was auto shop, both for acquiring the knowledge on how to fix things and knowing what I'll pay someone else to do. I've changed my own flat tire, flats on company vehicles, and flats for co-worker. I wish more people knew how to do some basic car maintenance but the system's just not set up that way anymore. Using jumper cables, removing a flat & replacing with a spare, hell even replacing wiper blades and air filters have all been regulated to a Don't Need To Know basis.

Wife's 2019 Audi Q7 doesn't have one. The bass for the sound system takes up that space. We have roadside assistance for it. Wouldnt want her changing it anyway.

I've had 1 flat if 18 years of driving. So I dont lose sleep over it or anything.
