The battery going out after 8 years is not unexpected. Like any thing one needs to plan for such maintenance. Kinda like replacing the roof on a house. It is going to be a chunk of money.
However, what bothers me is the claim of Tesla not checking the battery condition. While there may be electronic monitoring it does not sound like there is physical monitoring. Both are important.
Even more bothersome is being locked out of the vehicle. There is absolutely no reason for that. One should always be able to get into their vehicle.
