So your data point for battery life is a prospective buyer survey? One in which their concern for battery life (OP said 5 to 7 years) would be covered free under an 8 year warranty?
Think about that for a second. If a Tesla battery gave out in 5 to 7 years, it would be replaced under warranty free and then good for another 5 to 7 years. So it would then cost the buyer nothing for 10 to 14 years of service.
Is that the argument you want to go with?
