Mass production of Tesla Inc.’s revamped Model 3 may start in China as soon as next month, people familiar with the matter said, just as the US automaker kicks off another round of price cuts on some current models.

The electric-car maker is in the final stages of producing display vehicles, which will be shipped to Tesla showrooms later in August, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public.
