Here is an honest answer for the $35k Model 3 directly from Elon:
With production, 1st you need achieve target rate & then smooth out flow to achieve target cost. Shipping min cost Model 3 right away wd cause Tesla to lose money & die. Need 3 to 6 months after 5k/wk to ship $35k Tesla & live.
As I've stated a few times.....the pricepoint for the bare bones model 3 isn't enough for Tesla to survive making the 35k version. .
