Neither this article nor my personal experience with Tesla support your claim. > Tesla owners reported more problems with their exterior and interior than with other systems like propulsion, battery or infotainment and navigation. Tesla issues aren't about maintenance, they are mostly about quality control. Maintenance on Tesla is simple: air filters, brakes, tires, air conditioning. https://www.tesla.com/support/car-maintenance https://www.tesla.com/support/car-maintenance

ON a modern car you only add oil changes until you get to 100k miles. Oil changes are fast and cheap. Except for air conditioning - unless you mean the air filter the air conditioner should NEVER need maintenance - if you do maintenance it means an environmental disaster - they are closed systems and so the only time you service them is if they lost the Freon.

  Hopefully there is no Freon to lose in the first place in the AC.

  There is a lot more: timing belt replacement, water pump replacement, oil change, oil filter, radiator, spark plugs, drive belts, ...

    You don't need any of those things for a couple of years on a new car, and most of them never in five years. If you're buying new, as most electric car people are, it's the same burden.

  But, due to more parts being present on an ICE car, isn't there a higher likelihood of something going wrong eventually?

TuV results from mandatory safety checks in Germany seem to indicate that Tesla has significant issues with its suspension and some of the lights. It competes with Dacia for last place of all cars tested.
