Battery production is still the bottleneck, so they want to squeeze out as much value per kwh as they can.
Selling one expensive luxury SUV with a 90kwh battery is a lot more profitable to them than selling two barebones econoboxes with a 45wkh battery pack.
And just to clarify, since this is Lemmy: This is not meant to justify or condone their behavior, just explain it.
