Tesla should just increase the price of the Model 3 and see how many orders remain. I would prefer them to sell 20,000 model 3s for profit than 100,000 for loss. A  new model 3 costs between $50,000 and $59,500, which is what they are selling so far and will be the only variant sold until 2019. Just add 10k to the base price and sell it. When these things become cheaper to build then discount the price as they did with the Model S before, indirectly by adding extra options for free. 

In other words the Model 3 should be priced the same as the entry level Model S.  For a massive investment in CapEx, the investors see no return.
