But I have feeling this is all going to come to a nasty head in about 5 years when the batteries in these cars begin to fail and the owners discover they basically bought a throwaway vehicle due to the replacement costs of the batteries. Not to mention the environmental headache from the glut of failed batteries. It will be interesting to see how it's handled.

I hear you, but the Tesla S has been on our roads for 11 years now.  The battery life does degrade somewhat over the years, but people have found it predictable and acceptable. I knew a guy who had so many problems with his Y that he got a lemon law claim. But I've known 3 guys with the S and their only complaint is how spartan the interior is.
