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.)

I 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

Why make assumptions about the OP? Maybe he’s a doctor doing house calls or a surgeon driving to the hospital.

Or they just do long road trips once or twice a year

A long trip of 40000 miles? That‘s one long trip
