Tesla recommends a $700/yr maintenance package, this "EV doesn't require maintenance" myth needs to die.
Pretty much the only routine you save from ICE is the oil change per 10k miles.
You need to know the context and back story of this before claiming that it's something Tesla "recommends". Tesla did not offer maintenance initially, and it was not in the books until it became a top-requested and top-discussed subject on owner message boards. The company then reluctantly admitted that fear of not finding a suitable repair shop drove buyers' decisions towards not buying and started offering the plan.
The year 1 service, for example, includes such onerous tasks as "Key fob battery replacement" and "Wiper blade set replacement". If you want to save money or for whatever reason refuse to set a foot inside a Tesla Service Center, you don't really need to. Until year 4, looks like.
The year 2 service is almost identical to year 4, and year 1 includes a fluid service that isn't covered in later years.
Tire rotations, cabin air filter replacement every so often, and a coolant fluid replacement at 150k miles.
Nearly all braking is done via regenerative braking and not friction brakes so brake maintenance won't be needed for a very long time.
You are still right about the tires though.
There's more to a car than the engine. Electric vehicles shave off engine, transmission(?), and fuel system, but add batteries, high-power electronics, and electric motors (presumably with either a transmission or some way to adjust back-EMF).
The majority of the time inspecting a car is spent elsewhere than the engine. Most shops just plug into the OBD and give a visual inspection of timing belt, fan belt, etc. and look at maintenance stickers.
