In the scenario you proposed I think this law would apply, however I don't think that's how it works. I think the capacity limit isn't a function of the car itself but rather the battery pack installed. In other words, if I bought an after market 200 kWh battery pack 5 years from now and installed it in my 60 kWh Tesla and it registered as a 60 kWh battery pack, I would burn Tesla to the ground.
