This is how Lithium batteries are charged - CC/CV. You first have constant current stage, then as the battery fills up you shift into constant voltage stage where the current is gradually reduced until the battery is full.

However CC/CV change doesn't normally happen at 50%, but further down the charging cycle. It may be that Tesla throttles the current ahead of time due to thermal constraints of the charging system.
