Please tell how, and what happens, no I'm generally interested because from what I've read currently, no recycling method exists which is both efficient and profitable enough to be sustainable.



surely you didn't read that on the back page of the Tesla brochure?
Actually BMW and Nissan are the ones leading the way with recycling. And Tesla are catching up (mostly because they haven't had many battery packs go end of life yet).

Also, they a repurposing the batteries. For example, you need high efficiency in a car because of limited weight and packaging. You don't need that in a home battery backup scenario. So used batteries can be given a second life in home storage after their life as car batteries.

Plenty of details about this online. Worth a read.
