Because once you've done it once, Wall St makes it hard to get off the roundabout. Tesla do some amount of batching because of the logistics of shipping and country homologation, but it would be surprising to me if this naturally coincided with quarter boundaries. But the first quarter where they don't do anything special will have less deliveries. Now, I think at some point, Elon will just have to say out loud that at some future quarter, they will go into steady state mode, and incorporate that into projections. The analysts will hit TSLA hard for ever saying something like that, because they're all about Q-on-Q numbers. So maybe Elon will never say that. Anyway, he seems to like the internal pressure generated too.
