This is clever, but it is unlikely his motivation is to microscopically increase demand for Teslas by having Tesla's white-collar workforce commute more. It is much more likely that he earnestly believes that the trade-offs for Tesla organization favor a fully on-site office workforce, knowing that will drive away some excellent team members. (It's hard to argue with Tesla's success; but it seems to me the future more broadly is away from on-site office workforces... even and especially at companies doing well.)
