With so few moving parts, they're way, way more reliable than a gas or diesel engine. And the battery life? People stopped worrying about this years ago.
Exactly...but with that being said, the batteries are only guaranteed for 8 years on the Tesla.
Not exactly apples to oranges, but Consumer Reports found Prius Batteries to be relatively unchanged after 200,000 miles. LINK

But there's a reason for this. Tesla's first roadster was built in 2008... almost 8 years ago. Those batteries are still functioning at 85% capacity which is excellent retention.

I have 4 Prius (Prii?), one personal and 3 in my wok fleet. Most have over 125,000 mi and none have had even a minor battery issues. Because of the ominous predictions, I was concerned early on, but no longer. I assume Tesla will have at least the same battery life.
