I assume checkups on the wear of bearings and chassis elements should be regular. Those can deteriorate just like regular cars and maybe even faster since the cars are heavier. But servicing what exactly? The cars have way fewer moving parts than regular cars.
The bearings and stuff should be roughly the same intervals as regular vehicles, since they should be designed for the weight of the vehicle. Otherwise you'd have trucks and SUVs getting those replaced significantly more frequently than sedans, and that's not really the case.
