    On the standard Model S AWD, the rear motor had less power than the RWD version. Will the Model 3 likewise have a different motor between AWD and RWD? If the motor is the same between both, seems like the AWD should have a materially faster 0-60. Will the P version have a stronger rear motor?

    Nobody knows except Tesla. My guess is that the AWD will have two identical smaller motors and the performance version will have the rear motor from the RWD. That's what makes the most sense to me.

    I wishfully see available space for a larger rear motor there. Call me crazy!
