That's certainly one take on it.
Another might be, "While Tesla has repeatedly demonstrated the car's performance envelope is elastic and no one really has any idea what it's actually capable of, only a handful of individuals numbering in single digits have demonstrated the commitment to compete in one. So, before a significant number of our members commit big bucks to campaigning 3s, we're going to put them over there—where it can still be quite competitive—for a bit where they will cause the least amount of disruption to the other 99.6% (6 of 1300 is 0.4%, right?) of competitors while we figure out how to integrate this disruptive technology into our member driven amateur hobby in a way that makes sense."
