I don’t understand how this changes the cost of manufacturing the car… I don’t understand why this exists. Only thing I can think of is maybe it reduces the risk that they will need a battery replacement after 8-10 years since it has less wear? I think with the other standard range models its recommended to charge to 100% regularly where the long range ones take a little bit more care to not go over 90% daily.

This way they can upsell you later and instantly provide more range upon payment.
