So I'm OK with oil changes and brakes at least for now...

Maybe, no idea as I've never owned a car with 100k miles. The Tesla battery and drive unit warranty is 8 years 120k miles. That's longer than any car I've ever owned. Now if I was in the market for 10 year old cars with 100k miles... I guess I would have to take that into consideration.
As for oil changes and brakes, I'm talking about the time and hassle factor. Not the money.
