Does anyone actually buy a $35k version? I tried to spec one recently and couldn’t get anything i felt was acceptable for under 68k

Literally, the answer is "not yet". The ones shipping now are about $50K. Certainly people are willing to buy $35K version, but they might turn out unsatisfied.

If nobody buys them, Tesla is in trouble. There is limited market for 68k cars.

The new production line is entirely devoted to the AWD and performance models. Tesla won't be producing the $35k model until next year, the market for $68k Model 3 is bigger than the market for $35k Model 3.
