Yes, the batteries would need to be replaced but that means designing them to be replaced.
Unlike the Tesla model Y which built the battery into the frame and filled it with foam so that it absolutely cannot get replaced. Musk said the way to replace the battery is to send the entire car to the scrap yard and recover the lithium from the shredder.
Another reason on my list why to never buy a Tesla.
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's patently false, according to https://www.findmyelectric.com/blog/tesla-battery-replacement-cost-explained/#:~:text=Absolutely.,will%20likely%20also%20be%20similar.

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?
