Hello and welcome to the Wednesday June 27th

2018 edition of Tesla Daily on Official Tesla Podcast.

My name is Rob Mauer. Today we are talking about all the changes that were made to the

Model 3 configuration process last night.

Tesla stock on Tuesday finished up 2.70% to $342 even, this compared to the NASDAQ up 0.39%.

Last night, Tesla updated the Model 3 design studio for those that have been invited to configure and we have some

pretty significant changes. Most notably the base price of the performance

all-wheel drive model 3 has gone from $78,000 previously to $64,000 now.

This was achieved by a combination of lowering the price

That includes the 20-inch sport wheels.

calipers. While the premium interior is still required and included in that base price,

the white interior is now an additional $1,500 option.
