If LFP does get to 10_000 cycles usable, that's 50 years at 200 cycles per year.
Cars are going to get much more durable, or it's going to have to be easy to move a pack to a new chassis three or four times. Car manufacturers would probably prefer the latter.
Either that, or we get my imagined rustpunk future, with multi-acre demolition yards full of rusting car bodies piled five high, all wired up and acting as grid storage.
The recycling problem is there, definitely; but it's not overwhelming. And it's much less of a problem than methane emissions and toxic chemical emissions from fracking for oil.
