    Here is what Tesla says (ESS = Energy Storage System = battery):

    “The result from this process is that we are able to recycle about 60% of the ESS materials and reuse a further 10% (by weight). We currently plan to landfill only the benign fluff, which comprises about 25% of the ESS, but we expect to nearly eliminate this in the future when our volumes get higher and we can justify the effort required to separate and reuse the plastic.”

    The electrolyte solution can generally be recycled as recall about 85 of any battery will be recycled as recall about 85 of any battery will get.
