Hours spent trying to get someone to buy a car they have no intention of buying are hours NOT spent making sales commissions.

I think this may have the opposite intended effect. Tesla would report that interest in their product is still strong or even going up. That might make stock prices go up.
But if they internally report interest is up, but sales do not reflect it, then investors think they are cooking books somewhere and the valuation goes down due to lack of trust.
Bold of you to assume they aren’t already cooking the books. Though, I imagine they use some plausible deniability and have some bullshit AI cook the books for them.
