Tesla confirmed this week that it is developing a “unique battery recycling system,” which the company believes will result in “significant savings” over the long-term.

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/
