I saw this. I don't know that Tesla thinks to slow or ramp production based on on demand. At the BMW factory, as orders come in from customers, whether that is from a dealer or from an individual or from where in the world for the South Carolina plant, they process the orders in the order they arrive, so it isn't like they produce all white 3-series and then do a bunch of black X5s. On the other hand, Tesla seems to just make cars and then try to sell them, so once their lots are full then prices drop, and I think part of this strategy is just to keep the cogs in the wheel spinning, so everyone upstream from them who supplies them with parts sees a steady demand, and their gigafactory keeps moving to pump out batteries. That is just my take.
