No company will warranty their product for a period anywhere near the expected life. So an 8-year warranty would be consistent with a 15-20 year expected life.
Not sure about that as most current battery suppliers seem to make batteries that seem to start failing within 12 or 24 months of warranty expiry.
I think there are already cases of tesla owners having to replace their batteries.
