How is "local monopoly in a town" substantively different than "oligopoly in an area"?

It's not really super convenient to get service 60 miles away.

Tesla makes people drive hundreds of miles and that doesn't seem to have hurt them.

Worse, Tesla is effectively a a national monopoly. And that's far worse, because it has no competition for sales of Tesla vehicles or service.
