Any EV companies offering a 150,000 warranty on batteries? OH, year, they are. I don't know if the battery warranty is transferable on Tesla's but regardless of age, they have a 100,000 to 150,000 mile warranty. Since the example you quoted was a USED car, we have no way of knowing what use it had been put to, how it had been abused or anything.

I am fairly certain if I said, I both a USED 5 year old ICE (you pick the brand) and complained about it, you would say, you get what you pay for when buying used.

I have never worn out gasoline burning vehicle new or used. I just got tired of them and had to have something else. But, I know where the dip stick and valve stems are. Most people don’t keep vehicle long enough to change oil let along ware one out. It be same with electric they trade every 3 years.
