The benefit of a tarrif on Tesla vs opening the market to China is that we can easily undo it if there is a US coup, Trump gets medicated, gets burned, whatever. There's still the potential that this is a temporary situation, not the new reality. If we open up to a third party, we can't put the genie back in the bottle.

Chinese EVs are already being sold worldwide. We can either choose to "stand with" western auto manufacturers, or let free market do its thing. In this scenario it only makes sense to play both sides and offer people some economic relief.
