But you're not flooding the market with $750M new common stock of TSLA in the market. If TSLA price crashes it could impact consumer confidence in buying the T3 which Tesla is banking on.

If TSLA drops and T3 are delayed, many consumers might panic and not oder their car creating a vicious circle.
