Here is a link to an interesting article and video from Teslararti.com on an early 2015 Model S with over 450,000 miles. It has info on owner and warranty repair costs and battery health and replacement over a rather grueling charge regimen over the 450,000 miles driven.
Since even this early production car without the latest tech did rather well, it makes me optimistic that liquid cooled Panasonic cells with decent BMS should hold up well in the long run. And this car was treated to much harsher driving/charging cycles than what almost any of us put our Claritys through.
“Hope springs eternal.”
