Or your transmission fluid, or your spark plugs, or your muffler / exhaust pipe, or your catalytic converters, or your oxygen sensors, or about 100 other parts unique to ICE engines.. Many of which I've recently repaired on my 160k-mile car.

Many of those items aren't consumables, and you replace from wear and tear. Why wouldn't you think a temperature sensor in your Tesla battery will need to be replaced, similar to your O2 sensor in your ICE vehicle?
