The car's system is perfectly happy with reporting a full capacity of 81.x kWh, just as it was perfectly happy with reporting a maximum power of xxx hp (the precise number escapes me at the moment). Regardless of how these values are measured/calculated/estimated, if that's how Tesla chose to measure/calculate/estimate them, it's how they should advertise them.
You are still not getting it.... 81kwh ESTIMATE reported by the BMS is based on driving the car. if you simply parked the car and left the stereo on (or turned the car off because it is really always on) the battery pack would deliver more than 81kwh
the amount of Wh a cell delivers is dependent on the current, temp, and a few other factors
if you drove on the autobahn at 155 flat out the pack might only deliver 70kwh
