The Q3 email specifically said it was to boost sales to show profitability. You can find it via Google, it was publicly leaked.

That doesn't make your latter point wrong though, that was probably true too!

I checked the Q3 email [1] and while it is indeed about motivating their teams to reach profitability, it doesn't mention any discount.

This email does not mention anything about discounts. It does not even mention sales. It does talk about "building and delivering every car we possibly can".

I think GP just linked to the email because I cited it but forgot the link.
