True, but I would expect the charge level and charge rate to fluctuate as the OEM refines its software over the years.
Throttling and limiting capacity in exchange for increase durability are inherent to the lithium battery charging process. It seems perfectly reasonable that as field data comes in the OEM would refine the tune.
This is like the EV equivalent of a service bulletin that flashes a new ECU image that actuates some emissions doodad slightly differently to improve longevity or whatever but costs you a fraction of an MPG of a couple horsepower at part throttle.
Yes the messaging to consumers was clearly insufficient but I don't see anything fundamentally wrong here and I'm generally no fan of Tesla.
