If I would have taken my own advice and invested the $50k in Tesla’s stock on my post date of August 12 2019, it would be $303k right now!

When I started this thread - August 12th 2019 TSLA share price $229 Today February 21st 2020 share price $886 So the $50k deposit would be $193k today - 6 months later. That’s a 386% return! Again, why would anyone put down a $50k deposit!!

Happy to report that the issue is MUCH less noticeable on 2019.28.3.1 You can still feel it going side to side a little bit but it doesn’t progressively get worse so Autopilot is now usable, although my wife says it makes her car sick.

Let me know how the test goes, I’m on 28.2 and I still have it but’s less noticeable. Still an issue though.

Have you seen Tesla’s track record on timelines? I don’t think we will see it for another 2 years, possibly a 2021-22model.

Do you think they will ever lower the deposit amount to something reasonable like $5 or $10k? I would love to order one but unless they are going to pay me 7% interest while using my money then I will not be putting a deposit down on one. Heck they can even make it a $5k non-refundable deposit.

2017 S and 2017 X

It’s on 20.4.2 my Model X just received the 20.4.3. I will update the S and see if it resolves the issue.

It doesn’t happen with the Model X It does happen at slower speeds but not with the same increasing effect it has o higher speeds.

I have a Model S and X, both are running 2019.20.4.2 but the Model S has a serious safety concern when autopilot is engaged on the highway. This started happening about two months ago and I have had several software updates since it started and nothing has fixed the issue. When going around 80...

i just had to come on here and vent about how slow the car takes off after a red light stop. It seems like they slow it down more and more. There will be a 20 car distance between me and the car in front before it starts speeding up more to catch up.

Wow, I feel pretty stupid now lol. Just rough estimation says I’m spending $500/mo in electricity which is obviously not right. I feel much better now!

Sorry you are correct, electricity is 9.5 cents/KWh. I was going off of an old electricity cost.Trying to upload a picture of my bill but it’s stuck at 0%. Nonetheless, my bill has been consistent over the past few years. I am trying to upload that spreadsheet as well. I do a ton of highway...

[Moderator edit (bmah): During this thread, a review of computations showed the initial conclusion to be incorrect, so by request of one of the thread participants I've edited the thread title to not be misleading.] Last year I used $3000 more in electricity compared to what I used the two...

True, my car used to stop when it came up to a stopped car. I noticed it does not do this anymore and keeps going.
