That's impossible to quantify. How much is the real price of a hammer per nail?
That depends on how you use it.
In other words, how hard you drive it down.

Generally batteries do better if you stay away from heat and never fully charge or discharge it. Or if it bears a red T.

Tesla expects them to last at least 8 years and infinite miles, since that’s the warranty they offer with the Model S — they define the lifetime of a battery as being when it cannot hold more than 70% of its original charge. But actual data suggests that they will last longer.
Infinite miles suggests the price per mile could be zero. It would never need to be replaced.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
