Last April, Elon Musk announced that a “1 million-mile battery pack” was in the pipeline. Thus, long-life batteries are likely to be critical to the success of the Tesla Network (a proposed fleet of robo-taxis) and the Tesla Semi. Elon Musk says that the battery modules used in Model 3 “should last 300k to 500k miles (1500 cycles).”
