The following report is from ZeroHedge:
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…that is, unless you are a Tesla owner stranded in the freezing cold unable to get inside your vehicle.
Tesla owners got a nice early holiday gift this weekend when several owners reported not being able to get into their car due to “500 server errors” popping up on their Tesla smartphone apps.
The error left some owner stranded in the cold over the weekend, StreetInsider wrote on Monday morning.
One Tesla owner from South Korea wrote “Still stuck in Seoul” on Twitter after the error popped up and he didn’t have access to his Tesla.
Downdetector showed a “large spike in reported Tesla server problems at around 5pm on Friday,” StreetInsider wrote, noting that it was unknown how many Teslas were affected by the outage and exactly how many people wound up locked out of their cars.
Tesla owner Zachary Kiefer was stranded outside of his vehicle for hours, the report said. The app started working again before a AAA assistance tow that he called arrived.
“I was pretty disappointed. They just didn’t seem to care,” he said of Tesla’s customer service.
In response to the outage, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted:
Looks like we may have accidentally increased verbosity of network traffic. Apologies, we will take measures to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
Whatever you say, Elon…

Okay class, what have we learned today?
[21] My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change: [22] For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both? Proverbs 24:21-22
Once again, these stupid smart and interconnected technologies keep failing left and right, and glitches there, cyber attacks there, frustration everywhere. Instead of going backwards, after realizing that all this tech is nothing more than an opium pipe dream, they instead double-down and say we need to make the technology even “better.”

Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
Ecclesiastes 7:29
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

What a heartwarming story to kick off the Thanksgiving holiday.
Haha! Heartwarming indeed. Sorry my in-laws are late, my futuristic Tesla something out of F-Zero broke down because of glitches. That’s okay, there’s a 24/7 diner we’ll have thanksgiving dinner there, instead.
The lesson I learned today: don’t get a Tesla.
