Elon Musk’s Tesla has announced changes to how customers buy vehicles, moving to an online-only system in an attempt to lower the cost of its electric cars.

The company, which is battling for profitability, said yesterday that a $35,000 Model 3 was now available—the reduced price made possible due to the closure of brick-and-mortar retail stores. In an earnings call, Musk said profits are unlikely for Q1 this year, Bloomberg reported.
