It's the battery management system and the cooling system that would make the difference in longevity.
Sure, if you mean over provisioned batteries that you never have access to the full capacity of, then sure.
Tesla has nothing special, they just sell you 20kw/H batteries, and call them 5kw/H batteries, now they last 4 times as long. No those numbers are not exact matches for Tesla packs, but the point is the same.
My point is simply that they don't have anything special other than a different usage pattern to prevent stupid users from destroying the batteries.
