you have to factor in no oil changes, fewer moving parts and mechanical issues, and even less brake pad wear in the Tesla's favor.
Ok no oil changes. Everything else you said has yet to be proven

Less pad wear is a fact.
No air filter changes
No fluid changes
No fuel filter changes
No Transmission to frick up
No engine to break down
No spark plugs to change
Basically none of the shite that normally goes wrong/needs to be replaced on a car

Huh? The fewer moving parts is a fact, and in almost all cases that will mean fewer mechanical issues. Plus we have over a century of history to look back on to know which requires less maintenance. As for the brake pads, yeah it's a small thing, but with most of the braking being done by the motor to charge the battery (regenerative braking), the brake pads will almost certainly last longer.
But I get what you're saying. Let's just give it a few years and see how the numbers play out.
