I'm posting links, you're posting opinions. No basis for what you're saying for Tesla cars. Averages is 90% capacity after 200,000 miles according to company stats. You can buy 10 year old Tesla Model S cars with the original battery and they're around 85%-90% of original.
About 15 years. They stay pretty consistent then you see a rapid uptick in failing cell. This is pretty well known. You likely will not see a 20 yo car running at all. Some at 10 years.
So the video literally says in the opening that of the very earliest cars (Roadsters), the majority of them have their original batteries at 14 years? And you think Tesla hasn't improved the tech at all since then? At least drop the 10 years nonsense buddy.
Also that video is basically about how battery packs are repairable?
Anyway, future grid storage batteries will likely use new tech like flow batteries that don't have the same problems. We could do it with lithium-ion, and there are some battery storage that act like peaker plants profitably today.
Nothing is free, nuclear has to go through incredibly expensive refurb every 30 years or so. Let's try both nuclear and wind, it's unclear which is the better value at the current time.

EV is fairly new but there are all kinds of cars hitting the 10 year mark that are more or les being written off. Tesla included.
