You overstate the maintenace required on modern internal combustion engines. Most will go 100,000 miles with nothing but oil changes. Oil changes are often a loss leader for maintenance shops. Tesla cars will still need tires, brakes (though maybe less often thanks to regenerative braking taking the load off of standard friction brake pads), air conditioning service, alignments and other suspension work, etc.
