Tesla goes down leaving drivers unable to connect to their cars with mobile app in massive network outage
TESLA’s network completely dropped in a massive outage on Wednesday that left drivers unable to connect to their cars.
According to Electrek, internal systems were fully down and around 11am ET, users couldn’t connect their vehicles to the mobile app.
Tesla staff had been unable “to process deliveries and orders” and Tesla’s website wasn’t working.
The outage was also reported for Tesla solar and Powerwall — in-home batteries — on Wednesday.
Around noon ET, connectivity was reportedly returning for some users’ cars, the news outlet reported.
The outage — which appeared to be global — is said to be one of the “most wide-ranging” in Tesla’s history.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk did not immediately comment on what happened.
On Tuesday, a new battery technology that Tesla is working on was unveiled by Musk at a highly anticipated event.
Musk said the technology will allow the company to make sleeker and more affordable cars within the next three years.
The cars, Musk said, will be able to travel a much longer distance on a single charge.
The CEO said that Tesla’s new battery technology might be be ready for large scale production until 2022.
“We don’t have a truly affordable car and that is something we want in the future,” Musk said during the event on Wednesday.
