What happens when a Tesla reaches 100,000 miles?

Minimal problems compared to other cars.

"...about 5 -7% battery degradation."
"...As for the drive units, they are warrantied for infinite miles or 8 years. The earlier designed units had steel ball bearings on the rotor shafts, that caused come milling noise, due to microscopic pitting. They came up with a new design using ceramic bearings and the drive units (motor, invertor, gear reduction box) are designed to last a million miles."
"...Unlike most auto companies, Tesla reduces its parts costs as its volumes increase and their own costs go down. For example the center CPU/17" HD display used to be $4,000 and is now $1,200."
"I have 93,000 on my 2015 85D model S, Other than a set of new tires, it has not required anything. It has lost around 3% battery life."
