I believe this is due to the fact that by default Tesla recommends that you don't fully charge or discharge the battery if you don't need the range. For phones people charge them all the way everyday (or more) and often discharge them all the way.

How can we prevent a battery from fulling charging? We plug a car/phone in at night, and wake up to it 100% charged.

  Tesla's cars have a charge limit you can set, after which the car simply stops. I believe they come by default at 90%. You're supposed to override it if you want to go on a long road trip. Would be cool if there was a similar feature available on phones. Maybe you could rig up something with Tasker or the like on an Android.

    It looks like Sony's Android phones have this option https://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony-Xperia-Marshmallow-update-beta-includes-soft-charging-allowing-the-battery-to-live-longer_id82551 https://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony-Xperia-Marshmallow-upda...

    Interesting fact.. with the last software update they changed what was considered trip, and local pretty significantly. I wonder if that is aligned to a SW improvement in battery management?
