During a conference call with media, Tesla CEO Elon Musk posited that someone ordering a $35,000 Model 3 on Thursday could expect to take delivery in June. Depending on how long it actually takes the entry-level Model 3 to come to market -- Tesla has missed its goals before -- it could mark a dramatic shift in the number of people who buy electric vehicles.

Tesla also announced Thursday a plan to cease all retail sales of its vehicles; the company will move to an online-only platform. Musk told members of the press on a conference call that ditching its retail locations will represent a significant cost savings -- and saving every penny will no doubt help as the $35,000 Model 3 comes to market.
