I doubt that Tesla needs much more demand at the moment. The demand for Model 3 already exceeds Tesla's production capacity. Until the Chinese Giga Factory 3 is up and producing large numbers, Tesla cannot use an increase in demand for much. Next year, Giga Factory 3 will be producing significant numbers, but that may still only be sufficient to meet the demand from the Chinese market.
So Tesla will likely have to build a Giga Factory 4 in Europe or America to really meet the Western demands. Such factory, which is still not formally announced, needs to be built first and will not produce large numbers until 3-4 years from now.
Apart from the obvious production constraints, Tesla has the constraint of expanding the supercharger network and the constraint of expanding their workshops, so that they can service the huge amount of new cars on the roads.
