Their marketing worked well here, most Tesla drivers I know have commented that they will never need to service their car. At least, they do until they wear their tyres to the point they disintegrate while driving. A mechanically illiterate public coupled with effective marketing is a dangerous combo when they're flying around in 2 tonne boxes still filled with wear parts.

I do that with a Leaf. I did have to change a tyre after 4 years, and last week I filled the wiper fluid.

> do people actually think you buy a tesla and just drive

Unfortunately these people exist by the thousands.

People do this with ICE cars, so yes.
