Correlation (with n=1) doesn't equal causation. If there was scientific sensibility behind that maybe we could suggest a causal reason, but that's lacking as well.

Current cost of battery pack replacement?

There are some places that can repair it for at least $8,000 if it's not under warranty, such as 057tech.com or Recell-ev.com. Tesla usually costs several thousand more for a repair, and more than that for a brand new main pack. I hope these costs will come down considerably soon, like toward or under $1,000 for a main battery repair service. Of course the best thing is for the batteries to actually last beyond 1 million miles as Tesla has publicly stated that goal. Even so, there will probably be some cases (hopefully highly infrequent) where repairs will be needed for some vehicles.
Thank you for this! After the repair, how long is the pack expected to last?
I don't think Elon Musk ever claimed 1 million miles on a battery - he said 300k-500k miles in the past. I honestly would be perfectly happy if it came in on the low end of this range.
I have a 2018 Model 3 MR, where the HV battery died at just under 102,000 miles. My estimate from Tesla was for a re-manufactured 65kWH battery for just under $15k total cost including taxes (HV battery itself was $12k). Just waiting for it to come in to be installed.

057tech.com has a warranty option for at least two years or 25,000 miles. I am not sure about Recell-ev.com.

I found out that Recell-ev.com has one option for a warranty up to 4 years / 50k miles for the Model 3. Pretty good!
Thank you! Even 50k miles seems kind of low, given that the original battery is supposed to be last 300k-500k miles.
