Choosing between 2024 Model 3 or 2024 Model y

Hey All, Sorry for another 'Which model for me post' - But I genuinely couldn't find any with the same question. **TL;DR: 2024 Model 3 (20k miles) or 2024 Model y (42k Miles) - Both are ~$33k** Been looking at grabbing a used Tesla, and while I really like the Model Y, and want the Juniper, I can't justify 44k+ for it. That being said, I really like the new tech packages, suspension, etc; and I've heard that that was basically copied over from the Highland Model 3. I remember driving a 2022 Model 3, and wasn't impressed (Was super stiff suspension, etc) but I've heard the Highland was a huge upgrade in comfort, etc. The car would mostly be a commuter for me; occasional people inside. (Currently have a ICE Sedan) I haven't driven a 2024 Model Y yet, but I've heard good things. My only fear is how much noise/suspension. But from some quick research, it seems 'HW4' has newer suspension and double pane glass which helps a lot with sound. They are both about the same price, granted, the model 3 has 20k miles vs 42k miles on the Model Y. If you had to pick between the highland model 3 or the older styled model Y for the same price; which would you choose?

The 2022 model 3 has the same double paned windows as the 2024 model Y. The 2024 Y is a step up suspension wise from 2022 but it is NOT the same as the juniper/highland. If you prioritize comfort get a highland, if you need the space of the Y it’s still a great car

Depends on your individual use case. We need to bring a lot of stuff from point A to point B regularly, so we got a MY with the tow package. If it really didn't matter I would bias towards lower miles.
