News on August 20, according to Sina Finance, although U.S. regulators have begun investigations into Autopilot’s autonomous driving system, more than 765,000 electric vehicles were involved in the investigation. U.S. congressmen also urged the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to take full control of Autopilot. An investigation is conducted on whether there is misleading propaganda and marketing for the autonomous driving system, but Tesla’s 2021 Artificial Intelligence Day event has not been affected by the investigation and is still held as scheduled.

　　At the 2021 Artificial Intelligence Day event, Tesla announced the news of increasing its electric car reservation deposit from the previous US$100 to US$250.

　　Judging from foreign media reports, Tesla has raised the electric car reservation deposit to cover all its models in delivery. The electric pickup Cybertruck, which is postponed until next year, will not be adjusted this time.

　　On the official website of Tesla USA, the reservation deposits for Model 3, Model S, Model X and Model Y have all been increased from the previous US$100 to US$250.

　　In the domestic market, you currently need to pay a 1,000 yuan deposit for booking Model 3 and Model Y, which is non-refundable and non-transferable. Model S and Model X require a 20,000 yuan deposit, which can be refunded at any time before delivery.
