I mean, there was enough room, but enough room to do it safely. There was a cushion between the furthest reach of any part of my body and the travel lane, but not enough cushion. I don't know why I actually stopped or elected to change the tire where I did instead of driving on until there was a safer spot.
Do you need to go pick up the new/repaired tire and wheel or do they come out and swap for you?

Was actually downtown, right in front of my office. About the safest place you can be. Yeah, the idea of changing a tire on the side of the highway is terrifying.
Loaner wheel is just like my others except it has a giant Tesla sticker on it. Oh and is sparkly. Mine are dull grey.
