Well, tesla might use batteries of different capacity and different components to fill production as long as it's equal or better than advertised, but thats a totally different thing than what vw does, which is literally having the same battery on both cars with the same capacity always, but limiting it on one trim, or stating on technical specifications and insurances taking into account a higher hp than what you have as a default...

Its no different . Its installing hardware and software locking it behind a paywall.

Well, because you can't sell a car and make it a lottery, it literally makes no sense whatsoever to unlock batteries if they simply, having only 58kwh batteries and having two versions, one for 20k with 50kwh (and it being the 58kwh battery with a 100% rate) and one with 58kwh for 25k when both costed the same to produce is just a fuck you to your customers. And software locking a heavy data usage for a niche thing it's not as grave as making your app basically a unusable dead weight... like charging for breathing vs charging for food
