>Tesla has been limiting how fast older models are able to charge at superchargers, with the stated goal of extending battery longevity.

Apple didn't get away with slowing down iPhones for this stated purpose, what makes Tesla think they can get away with it?

Tesla didn’t try to hide it and it’s only affecting charging not the overall performance of the car?
