March 4 () - Tesla Inc Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said on Monday production of the $35,000 version of the electric carmaker's Model 3 will start this month, but would not reach "volume production" until mid-year.

It was not immediately clear what Musk meant by "volume production". Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.
Tesla also said last week its global sales would now be online-only, in a bid to cut overhead costs.
