Granted Teslas most likely do this for nefarious reasons there is an argument to be made: batteries do not like to be over-discharged. Leaving a battery over-discharged for a long time will lead to premature degradation.

While it is true that batteries don't like being over discharged or too fully charged. All lithium ion batteries have unacceptable capacity, there is nothing nefarious about that. Going too low isn't going to degrade your battery, it will brick it
