Tesla used to sell hardware identical battery packs with different kwh ratings. The lower kwh ratings were enforced with software. I used to think it was for sleazy marketing reasons, but apparently not enough low rated batteries were ordered to make manufacturing them feasible, so the crippled batteries were provided on cars preordered with the smaller battery.
