This was always "expected" by people in the know ever since the Model S came out in 2012 and there was real world data on cars with 100K+ miles.

Didn't stop the oil lobby anti-EV FUD from spreading. And now both political factions hate EVs so expect people to continue to think batteries die in a few years.

EV companies wouldn't be warranting the battery degradation for hundreds of thousands of miles and several years if batteries died easily.
