This is the way Tesla wants it.
In a car dealership world, you're sold a future revenue generator for the dealer, as you're expected to come for routine maintenance.
With Tesla's corporate ownership and generous warranty, the less they see of you (post-purchase), the better it will be for the bottom line.
I suppose any auto manufacturer selling their vehicles direct and owning their service centers outright would have a strong incentive to maintain high reliability, and yet for some reason Tesla remains the only one pursuing that model.
