I think they will have the ability to reward their early adopters with something. They made a 400 miles battery available for Roadster owners, so I can see something similar being offered to early adopter Model S peeps. Maybe additional cash towards trade in of a new Model S or something.

One would actually expect that the news of FMR to add 1.360.000 shares would be positive news in the market.
My only guess would be the even lower oil price is pushing us down.

Right on their blog post, yes.
Adding direct quote for you: During this Beta stage of Summon, we would like customers to become familiar with it on private property.

With Musk talking about full autonomy in two year, it is not too early for cars to be AP 2.0 upgradable, especially the Model X. Tesla will need to make this clear within a year or it could produce an Osborne effect. We certainly do not want customers to be delaying purchase now because autonomy is coming within 2 years. That would only add to the delay as people wait for the Model 3.
Naturally, they will cross this date silently and announce it after old inventory has cleared. It's just an internal change that would be hard for customers to detect. So we cannot know if Tesla has already made this chage. My personal hope is that all AP vehicles are already AP 2.0 upgradable. All will be revealed in due time.
I speculate that the drop in the Chinese market is related. Perhaps there are some Chinese investors who also own Tesla and need to sell TSLA to help their liquidity issues with their Chinese investments.

Statistical significant sample size takes time to accumulate if the lawmakers are not anal enough to require stats for just the summoning data from garage on owner's private property. That's why I project 10 years as optimistic. And judging from what's been happening from the last few years since 2007, regulatory entrapment by entrenched interest always wins. Cyprus, Greece, single payer health care, oil.
Maybe if we get past the current doom and gloom cycle I will be more optimistic. But I am seeing an uptic in scams and petty theft recently that suggest daily life if us peasants are getting disrupted. Worst thing is, the statr has no funding to punish these crimes.
Yeah, indices sold off at the open and dragged us down with them. Instinct tells me that every time we have dropped close to or below 200 in the past, we have been significantly higher in a matter of weeks/months because too many buyers come out at those levels. I'm not sure this market mini-panic is done playing out, but people may get bored of it soon and start panic buying.

Days like today are a mystery to me. Up premarket and then a decline for an hour. No gap, just steady decline on no news
i don't think it's a single actor trying to push it around because it's too much volume to manipulate.

I just bought more at $207.90.
Think I need to diversify more before getting deeper into TSLA, but it's so hard to find a stock that seems as obvious and where I feel like I can't wait around.
Some staggeringly large amount of inner-city traffic is people circling looking for parking. Any sort of non trivial (like the current feature is) automated driving/parking would be a traffic godsend. Cars can move to out of the way garages and be summoned/scheduled when needed. Garages can even be retooled to be 2-3 deep or something that would be obnoxious for human drivers but cars wouldn't mind, increasing density of existing structures.

I have said it before and I will say it again. I expect local lawmakers to go all-in on supporting autonomous driving. One of their *main* jobs is trying to figure out how to fix traffic. If you really zoom out, there isn't a solution. Adding lanes, links, bridges, HOV lanes-- no city has ever "solved" traffic. Cars fill the available capacity and jam points move around. Autonomous driving is the solution. cars can syncronize and avoid the traffic-causing break-waves, space out instead of bunching up etc. Autonomous driving converts existing infrastructure into efficient transport, like nothing else can. Lawmakers tasked with spending money on traffic will embrace this to the point that I expect it ot be *required* for highway driving by 2030 or so.
Edit: The other beautiful thing about autonomous driving from the point of view of policy makers: The cost is bourne by the driver. They just have to write the laws.
