Basically and then that only makes sense if the company’s going to foot the bill. Otherwise they could just make it very very clear that by using extended mode they’re reducing the lifetime of the battery and doing so at their own risk, yadda yadda.

If it’s, as the article suggests, to use what’s already there (larger capacity) then nah. That’s slimy just like BMW.
