That’s because 60/70/75kWh cars all had the same battery pack, with lower end models software-locked, not because of any “cheating” that you alledge.

Ok the value judgement is up to you but selling a bigger battery pack as a small one will result in exactly the kind of artificial longevity I'm talking about.
