This survey is very vague, in general only few cells migh be damaged and there are companies who can repair battery pack.
Also the Model 3/Y have 4 separate battery packs, so not the whole battery might have to be replaced or repaired.
This will never be a thing, from what I've read on here those cars don't last more than a year before needing another fix. You can't just repair "a few cells" and call it a day.
 
Would you have bought/buy an electric vehicle (Tesla for most of us) if you knew/know a failed out of warranty replacement pack might cost you more than the car is valued upon pack failure?
Would you buy a gas engine vehicle if you knew/know a failed out of warranty engine might cost you more than the car is valued upon engine failure? Obviously no one would. But battery packs aren't failing at such a rate outside of the warranty to even be a thing.
