OK, fair enough, but for the second part, they can and do. This was just the first post on the Model S battery board, but I've seen many others have a battery that is fine suddenly be not fine.

These aren't super common, but they do happen. You can also do some procedures that "reset" the reporting(I don't recall the specifics of it), but the failure will always come back. So you could do this reset, sell the car, and then the buyer is stuck with it.
