Spare Tire:
Model Y - Nope
RAV4 Prime - Yes
I looked at both vehicles and went with the RAV4 Prime. I can't rule out a Tesla in the future, but the missing dashboard, no buttons or switches where you really need them, lack of spare tire and no Apple Car Play didn't appeal to me and my practical side. iPhones will always provide more tech than any Tesla screen will even with software updates.
The cost difference with rebates was $14k which is hard to overlook.
It took 2k miles to burn the first tank of gas, yes 2,000 miles. Charging at home accounts for nearly all of my energy use and I get the thrill of riding an "electric" car nearly all of the time. In really cold weather the engine kicks on to heat the cabin and defrost the windows and I can tell you it does this better than the battery alone.
In the end, the RAV4 Prime is simply a much more practical and far less expensive vehicle which suits me. But not everyone values things this way.
