This is why I cannot believe this is "gaming". The Tesla VIN gaming department would know that they get max leverage with their pretending when there is a long time before the next report, so they can be the only signal and have greater weight. Putting out a "fake" block now just confirms they bear narrative they are faking things, while providing no actual benefit.
I see these possibilities:
1) The Tesla gaming department exists and is really stupid. The ramp is going poorly, so they requested a block which (predictably) did not support the stock and will be a huge negative when the report comes out.
2) The ramp is going well and this more or less reflects reality.
3) The guy/gal who requests VIN's doesn't care about our tea leaf reading and just gets too many sometimes. He only gets in trouble if there are too few, so he gets a bunch whenever he thinks about it.
2 or 3 are more likely. 3 is REAL likely.
