I'm guessing that when US demand collapses due to the expiring tax credit over the next 16 months, Tesla will begin selling the Model 3 in other global markets to keep production near full capacity. Just as demand in these markets begins to taper off, the Model Y will enter production and a whole new cycle of demand will start over again, keeping production at near capacity. Rinse and repeat for as long as the game can be played.
