I don't think it needs to be. The thing about batteries is that they are made up of some number of individual cells wired together to achieve the desired power and energy. Each individual cell is charged and discharged according to the needs of the overall battery pack. Many things are important to the degradation of the battery cells, but the number of charge cycles is one of the more important ones.
The Tesla semi appears to have between 10 and 15x the number of cells relative to a typical Tesla, and while it does take approximately 6x more energy per mile to move the truck than it does to move a car, that is still in the ballpark of half the total cycles per cell/per mile. There are many examples of Tesla vehicles achieving a few hundred thousand miles, and while some of the older vehicles have had battery failures, it seems that a lot of the cell degredation levels out after around 10% loss.
While using Novonix MMB anode would be fantastic for NVX investors, I think Tesla likely has data to suggest they could warranty 70% battery life at 1,000,000 truck miles using their existing anode material, battery management systems, cooling parameters, and electrolyte additives to manage the degradation.
