Hello and welcome to the Monday April 16th 2018 edition of Tesla Daily Unofficial Tesla Podcast.

My name is Rob Mauer.

Welcome back everybody.

It has been a while since we've had an episode.

I do apologize for that.

Thank you very much for your patience.

I am making quite a bit of progress.

I'm not quite 100% yet, but I did return to my actual job

last week and we're back with some episodes this week. Probably won't do every day this week, but I'll do my best.

And then as soon as I can, I'll be back on our normal schedule.

And again, thank you so much to the listeners of this podcast.

So many of you have reached out on Twitter or via email just to see how I'm doing.

Check on the status of the podcast, see when it's coming back.

for me, but all those emails and words of encouragement,

22nd and that day Canadian reservation holders for model 3 had actually been

invited to configure for the first time. When I published that podcast I assumed that that signaled that Tesla would be shipping internationally as much as they could to try and delay that 200,000th vehicle delivery in the United States from happening in Q2 to happening in Q3.
