Their production quantities, ratios, etc were established FAR before the first orders came in. It just doesn't work that way. They had suppliers and or their internal manufacturing ramped up well in advance of the day they started putting the pieces together.
Now they may adjust as they go forward but that still means they need to use up all those auto tranny's and other components specific to certain builds.
