Median mileage has more relevance than any single machine , that entirely depends on how well the owner maintains it and a bit of luck.

Gasoline car engines are more complex while that can in theory mean lesser reliability, we should also consider that they been around a lot longer , we have had a lot of time to develop manufacturing process and mature them .

Battery vehicles are very very fast evolving, also Tesla is not exactly known for well manufactured vehicles

Finally also the availability of know how and feasibility to fix a motor is lot harder than gasoline engines , there maybe a tendency to replace the motor than fix it because cheaper or easier for Tesla like how phones do it.
