They will be recycled by Tesla. Tesla has a partnership with the co-founder of Tesla who departed to form his own battery recycling plant. Cheaper for them to recycle batteries than to mine fresh ore. No other car company is doing recycling of electric car batteries.

Pretty much in std. landfills. EPA does not consider spent Li-ion batteries as hazardous waste. That said, some advances in recycling Li-ion batteries economically are coming along: https://www.pv-magazine.com/2019/03/25/innovation-boosts-lithium-ion-battery-recycling-rate-to-over-80/
