Correct. As opposed to the dozens or so posters in this thread who take their job substantially more serious in applying a positive interpretation not just when there is ambiguity but always.
Please at least have the courtesy and acknowledge actual first hand knowledge of Tesla payment system overload events reported in this thread, instead of just polluting this thread with your baseless passive-aggressive attacks on Tesla:
No. It's just Tesla using the old used car sales tactic. There was no particular malfunction on the website last night at all.
You do realize that web front-ends are usually decoupled from back-end functionality and order processing systems in particular, and that overload failure/delays in the order system very likely do not cause a visible "website malfunction"?
In particular, as a simple traceroute to
www.tesla.com would tell you, Tesla's main website is globally cached and protected by the Akamai cluster:
Akamai is the leading CDN provider and probably even a first grade DoS attack wouldn't be able to take down
www.tesla.com and cause a visible 'malfunction'. Some of the most popular websites on the Internet, such as
www.apple.com and
www.ebay.com use Akamai too as their web front-end.
While this thread has a big pro-Tesla bias (which you'd expect from a 'Tesla Club'
), there's a
big difference between healthy investor skepticism and random, baseless foul-mood accusations wrapped in passive-aggressive innuendo and rarely retracted/corrected. The latter reduces a lot of your credibility.
