Renault offer both lease and purchase for the battery in France, but only lease in UK. Nissan's Leaf started leased-battery, then added a purchase option. I've never read anything about Tesla's car batteries being leased anywhere that wasn't an anti-EV FUD site.
My bad, it's Nissan who are developing home batteries using used car batteries - I had been told Tesla, but I was told wrong. Point about the business model still stands, though.
