Elon Musk said Tesla's $35,000 Model 3 would arrive by the end of 2018 — here's why experts say that probably won't happen
9/11/2018, 5:13:17 PMTesla CEO Elon Musk gave a timeline in May that suggested deliveries of the $35,000 base-priced Model 3 could begin between the end of September and the end of December.
