Tesla has to make it look to its shareholders that they are strong on the sales and margin. If they told the truth: "most people are buying up the 60 as oppose to the 75 because it is better value but much worst margin for us" then the shareholders woyld not be pleased.
I see this as typical tesla lies, one of the many. Remember the 60 was meant to increase sale of the model s. Apparently it has but at the cost of margins. Now that they got an infusion of 1.3 billion dollars cash they can keep going for a while longer so there is no need to keep the sales number up. Most importantly they need to get thr model 3 out because next year there will be a plethora of 200 miles plus EV and tesla doesn't want to be behind the curve especially when they had 5 years start on 200 miles plus EV.
