Some real life experience. I have a model 2013 S placed in service in late 2012. 54000 miles; just suffered a failure of the battery management system (car shut down exiting freeway).
Tesla took nearly a month to replace, and offered to replace battery pack, saying it might fail soon anyway.
The car’s value as a trade is only 14,000, so paying 18k for a battery pack made no sense to me.
My battery will only change to 258 miles at max, but I’m going to miss that car if the battery goes.
