"Tesla is talking about burst builds that last for a week".
Was that in the call? Their statement says "Several manufacturing lines [...] have demonstrated a manufacturing ability in excess of 1,000 units per week during burst builds of short duration. Other lines, [...] have demonstrated burst builds of about 500 units per week...". AFAIK, "short duration" != "a week".

”In Q3, we delivered […] 222 Model 3 vehicles”
Assuming they didn’t produce a lot more than they delivered, if they had even one week in which they produced 500 Model 3s, they also must have had weeks in which they destroyed them.
Once you're in 3 hour marathon territory, what you can do for 1 mile is a lot more relevant to what you can do for 26.2 miles than you might think. One of the tent poles of effective marathon/half marathon training is to make your race pace into a drumbeat. You want to feel your race pace in your bones. Very effective workouts look like: take your marathon race pace, and run 5 minutes easy/5 minutes hard (~race pace) for 60, or 10 easy/10 hard for 80.
Tesla is talking about burst builds that last for a week. That sounds like very effective training that will prepare them for race day.
