I've left all the spare tires in my vehicles that came with them because the fuel penalty is miniscule and the space occupied not very useful.
That said, I'll probably not get a spare for any vehicle that does not come with one. The odds of me suffering damage that cannot be repaired with a plug and also out of cell phone range is extremely low. Any vehicle that I'd drive up into the mountains or out of cell service would have a spare tire. Running about in a 100 mile radius in an EV, I have almost no situation in which a spare is useful.
Now if I lived in Montana, all my cars would have a gallon of drinking water, warm cloths, a fire starting kit, and a spare tire.
