Battery draw doesn't reduce lithium battery life. Starting power, especially in Tesla going fast, is way higher than hauling something up hill. Exceeding the max power would hurt the battery, but the batteries are protected. But going up hill wouldn't come close to that.
The main factor with lithium battery lifetime is charging cycles. Going up hill would drain the battery faster lead to be more charging, but it would be a small effect.
