So my question for Vash and any other owners is what is your long term expectation for resale and battery replacement (if needed)? Do you see this as a 5 year max kind of thing?

I have a Model S Plaid. I've said this about other cars and been wrong so take this as you will but I am not sure I will find something better for me. I drive 300 miles a day for work and this is the easiest, fastest car I have ever had. Every day I put the pedal down to the floor. Puts a grin on my face. Since November I have put 17,000 miles on it, just recently driving it on its first road trip from Columbia, SC to Daytona, Fl. If the battery needs replacing, I think I'll just do that. New batteries are somewhere in the $20K range. That said: even with the miles I currently have, I could probably sell the car for what I bought it for or more.
