My Model 3 is over four years old, still running great, zero maintenance. (I have a lift and rotate the tires myself, so actually zero maintenance money out of pocket cost other than replacing the tires.) Tesla replaced the backup camera for free - they came to me to perform the warranty repair.
My Model Y is two years old, no problems.
Combined mileage between the two vehicles is just shy of 150K.
The fit and finish of my older Model 3 has always just felt a bit better than the Y. I had to fix a weird creaking emanating from the rear hatch of the Y - a loose panel.
My Model 3 is the vehicle I have owned for the longest time and used continually. I haven't even had a desire to look for a new vehicle, which is way outside of my usual car purchasing behavior. (I have owned - and spent way, way too many hours myself on maintenance and repairing ICE vehicles.)
- cmarschner 4y agoSo you seem spend 1000-2000 hours a year driving cars around… thank god I have all this time doing other things
- aaomidi 4y agoOr they just do long road trips once or twice a year
- cmarschner 4y agoA long trip of 40000 miles? That‘s one long trip
- cmarschner 4y agoI don‘t understand the downvotes. If you drive more than 10000 km a year with a car you are not only doing yourself a disfavor, you are also a huge liability for society. The priority should be no travel > walking > biking > transit > car
