CATL, China's largest battery maker, has announced it's able to produce and it's ready to take orders on million mile batteries.
Initially, they'll be 10% more expensive than current generation lithium ion batteries, but they'll last ten times longer. Current batteries are generally warrantied for 80K-130K. CATL is one of the battery suppliers to Tesla's Shanghai factory, but CATL is not exclusively supplying Tesla. In other words, any company should be able to buy from CATL.

And here's a lengthy but very informative video about everything you wanted to know about lithium ion batteries but we're afraid to ask: https://cleantechnica.com/2020/06/0...r-what-you-should-know-about-batteries-video/
