The software and safety features allow for multiple individual cells to go bad in various ways and not affect the rest of the batteries. At least in the Roadster, the battery pack is also split up into multiple blades (I think ~11) so a segment of the pack can be replaced without having to replace the whole unit. It should be even easier in the Model S because of the ability to do those quick battery swaps... in the Roadster, it's basically an itegral part of the chassis and requires significantly more work to remove and reinstall.
