I think they don't want CT to pass them in total sales in less than 12 months. Given old pricing, that'd be a real possibility.

They also have inventor building up, due to being priced well above the market.

Musk has already warned, in the last 24 hours, that CT price will be much higher than previously expected. I don't think it's a genuine threat.
He's also warned that Lightning pricing is too high. Given Tesla's manufacturing capacity, it is a meaningful threat. They aren't installing all those casting and stamping machines with the intent to do a Lightning-esque <1k/week.
