I only wish my other cloud based accounts were anywhere near as reliable. It should be noted that your phone will still unlock and start the car since it communicates with trusted connections locally w/o the need to "phone home" to verify. The only issue is that you may not be able to remotely "start" your car (not even a thing w/Teslas really) to cool or heat the cabin to the temperature you set.

This is much ado about nothing & about as click baity as things get IMO.
The exact implementation of what they're doing (EV with those specific components), but they're not inventing the wheel... embedded code has been used on many systems, not just on automobiles.

So did it not inconvenience you in the slightest on daily use of your Tesla?

Running a single datacenter is just a ticking timebomb for full out failure- that's no DR plan whatsoever. All it would take is one significant local event (think like Hurricane Sandy), and it's all offline for DAYS to WEEKS.
Maybe they're working on a new datacenter, but IMHO it's good to have critical thinking that reveals the "man behind the curtain" rather than just blindly trusting and worshiping.... after all, he is just a man.
