This is not something that is unique to Tesla or even to electric cars. This is a function of how all lithium ion batteries have to be charged. It's just that people have never gotten the opportunity to see it in action, because most other things with a battery in them do not display the charging power or speed.
When they are very low, they can be charged much faster, but as they get more full, the power has to be slowed down to avoid damaging them. That is the nature of things.
