The danger in giving a sales quota to Jon and not stating what the numbers are - is he can become the "fall guy" if not met. Good luck to Jon Mc.
Also, if he is given "sales levers" such as ability to contact all Model3 reservation holders to offer special treatment to consider buying a Model S 75 now, that could help. There is a lot of inventory out there and if they could offer a searchable web site to actually show all of it, customers might be able to buy from that inventory without requiring more queued orders. that would free up resources at Fremont to build more Model 3 and those are the ticket to higher unit-sales volume.
Remember, Elon gets big options grants upon both 200,000 cumulative cars produced (already met) and 300,000 cars produced. Getting Model 3 out there and sold is critical. Inventory cars are produced cars and can be held until the levers pulled.
I would like to know, though "where did those Model X 58xxx Vin #s go? " Finally got some visuals on that today with the Netherland inventory in that range, but where did the rest go?
My view is sales-momentum currently is a lot of MS 75 and 75D - indicating Model 3 "transfers or converts". You can see it in the Model S tracker spreadsheet.
