> E.g. Tesla seems to design for half a million miles.
Tesla supposedly only warranties for 150k on the S[0], although they have been known to last longer (194k then 324k miles [1] on a 2014 model year car).
They design to much higher specs than what they give warranty on. They've been talking about half million mile batteries and even a million mile batteries. In practical terms that means the battery might outlive the car for most average drivers.
