I believe the claim is that the demand side did not change, the supply side did, as in sales != demand.

Just quoting the above

“An artificial boost is given to stuff nobody wants, but at a lower price can be convinced to buy”

So people spent 60k on a cybertruck that they didn’t want? Is that the claim?

the claim is that it moved sales forward in time, but it'll have a corresponding dip in sales later, whereas a good sales campaign increases total volume (virtually no dip, brings in new customers, etc)
