That's patently false, according to https://www.findmyelectric.com/blog/tesla-battery-replacement-cost-explained/#:~:text=Absolutely.,will%20likely%20also%20be%20similar.

My 2013 Model S has 235,000 miles on it and still l drives like it's brand new. I haven't yet had to replace the battery pack but when that day comes, it will almost certainly be worth the cost.

Here is the link where Sandy Munroe determined the Model Y pack is non repairable and it includes Elon Musk's reply tweet saying the pack should be seen as "high grade ore".

That says you cannot replace individual broken cells in a Tesla pack. That doesn't say you can't replace the pack

Aren't all the cells worn in a ten year old battery?
