Why are you sure? If it's not under warranty, it's not under warranty. If it's considered a fault then it would be warranted.
We don't yet know how they stand up over >8 years of service, of course, but there are many examples of very high milage Tesla vehicles (> 200,000 miles) that are still on their original battery and show only modest degradation.
