How to dispose of a Tesla when the battery dies

I read an article nearly 10 years ago about the fact that no one has an effective way to recycle these electric car batteries, so that would be the downfall of them. Maybe it’s starting to come true.
They tried that back in the early 1900's. I had a ride in a 1905 Columbus. Beautiful car and was 24 volts. Ran really smooth and quiet except for a humming noise. The torque was unbelievable. I have a short video but don't know how to post it on here
