At any rate Tesla doesn't let you use the whole battery anyway even at 100%
charged it is not because they gave people temporary range increases during the
Florida Hurricane.
Did they need to do more charging to get that extra range? or if their car was
already fully charged, did it just have extra range?
The former means the reduced range is the bottom of the pack, the latter means
it's the top.
I haven't used a car with a software limited battery but, as I
understand, the battery is just not allowed to fully charge. One
benefit, observed and reported by many, is that SuperCharging goes MUCH
faster near the top. With a not limited battery, one rarely has the
patience to fully charge at a SuperCharger because it tapers to just a
few kw near the top. A second touted benefit of limited batteries is
that they have longer life.
