It it were about manufacturing, then moving that to CEE would still make sense, as cars are high margin expensive items that some inland (train) freight in the continent is probably economical. Cars are even shipped over the ocean.
In Hungary when driving along the Budapest-Wien railway I can often see trains full of cars on some stations waiting for their timeslot (passenger trains have priority over freight in Europe).

Why? What does it have to do with the “innovators dilemma”?

Beachhead. You’re opening a beachhead for a competitor to start small with ample margins.
This might be the one move stupider than starting this fight, an innovator's dilemma [1] own goal.
The Nordics are a high-income EV beachhead. Tesla has best-selling cars. This entire fight is currently intrigue. The risk is it metastasising into a political crisis. What makes that crisis a crisis is it threatens those sales. Decamping--in effect, surrendering--positively nukes them.
