Hello and welcome back to Tesla Daily. Today is the Thursday, May 24, 2018 edition of Tesla Daily on official Tesla Podcast.

0:14.8

My name is Rob Maower. Today we are talking about dual motor all-wheel drive,

0:19.0

as well as the Performance Edition for Model 3.

0:21.5

Quick apology that the podcast is returning a couple days later than anticipated.

0:25.5

Those of you that follow me on Twitter know that I did get food poisoning, so a little bit

1:17.4

However, that does include any choice of paint and upgraded 20-inch sport wheels

1:28.7

However, that's not going to get you any discount on the price.

1:31.5

If it were me and I happened to want the arrow wheels rather than the
