I bet the Roadster ESS computers could tell you all sorts of details about pack history and health. The question is if if that info would be generally available or only for factory use.

Eh, the cycle log is kind of like the same idea as the odometer. It lets the consumer do a quick and easy reading onto the status of a car without factoring in factory defects, and it could be a number to post when you sell your PHEV/BEV (akin to posting how many miles are on your odometer). I suppose you would want to do more indepth tests when you buy a used car, similar to sending the used car first to your mechanic, which is more in line with the solutions you are proposing.
