Very true. Although out of warranty doesn’t mean the battery needs replacement. There are many Teslas out there (because there are not many other EV that old yet) that have 700 000 km and more, some even closing in to the million km, and on average their battery SoH is still over 70%.

Again as the article says, the car will need replacement for pretty much everything else (suspension, steering, etc) before the HV battery.

Again, the battery is not something to be concerned about, even long term.
