Over time, does the mug retain flavors or smells? I only get 3-4 months of daily coffee use out of my mugs before they start retaining flavors/smells.

I left coffee in my mug for several weeks (misplaced the mug) and the smell inside was horrible, even after going through hot water washes/soaking/dishwasher. But I got it brand new again, here’s how: OxyClean is amazing for removing coffee and tea stains, and all smells, from stainless, mugs, whatever. It was great on the hard plastic parts as well. The silicone circular gasket and plug on the too inside of the lid were what stunk the worst, and nothing helped, even prolonged soaks and scrubbing in OxyClean. But they are SILICONE, and the internet taught me that the best way to get smells out of silicone is by baking it (thanks, Instapot owners!) I placed the silicone pieces on a small baking sheet in my oven at 350 degrees F, and baked for about 30 minutes. The smell baked right out of them; it was amazing!

Are the plastic components on the mug BPA-free?

it is BPA free plastic and 18/8 stainless steel, one of the best stainless steel you can get in the market, and it's very safe to use hot or cold, shouldn't have that problem.check out their web site:https://www.zojirushi.com/app/product/smsa

Does the paint get scratched easily or will it hold up under use? Thanks in advance for your info!

I have the black one. I love it, but the paint has scratched off in a few spots. I’m careful with it, but I do carry it in my messenger bag. I’m extremely careful with what I put next to it, so I have to conclude the places without paint are due to rubbing against fabric.

Coated vs slicksteel? Which one is considered better? Wish they only had one style!

Stainless steel is safer. For the 20oz model that has the SlickSteel interior (no non-stick coating inside), the Zojirushi SM-SHE60BZ is the model you are looking for. They come in two colors - black and orange.
