I hope this part is not true. Especially if they intend to compete with Mercedes, BMW and Audi with it.
For the 35k market you are going to have to cut some corners. I'm sure there will be options to upgrade the interior, but Musk isn't going to be talking about how the Model 3 seats are "a work of art." A less refined EV from Tesla is going to be a whole lot better than anything else with similar specs from others...but you can't expect to have the same refinement that you see in the S, and will see in the X.
Also at 35k (less with tax credit) you're competing with touring packages from Honda, Toyota, Ford, GM...and I don't see many comparing these cars to Audi, BMW, and Mercedes.
