Elon Musk tweeted the other day that one of Tesla's Model S test cars eclipsed 150,000 miles.

That's good news, but I don't think we can readily apply that information to the LEAF since the batteries in the Model S have more range. Some Model S cars will include 300-mile batteries. With a larger battery you can cycle with longer trips and still use a lower DoD. As a result your battery will achieve both more cycles AND more miles per cycle.
OTOH, I seriously doubt Nissan thinks these batteries will need replacing at 100,000 miles or they would be crazy to warranty them for that long. IMO, their expectations would need to be at least 150,000 miles before they could consider such a long warranty.
