Er. So is this actually on? I'm getting hold music that feels straight out of Knight Rider.

I'm liking the music. Can anyone identify it? Would love to use this during work.

Shazam giving me zip, sadly.

I love Tesla, but there’s something poetic about even the livestream being delayed by 10 minutes

Their events are always delayed

still playing the "standby" slide at 2012 PST. i assume this to mean the event was scheduled to begin at 1900 PST?

I believe it was meant to launch at 2000 PST, that's when it was counting down to.

The poor guys are self-DDoS'ing themselves. They keep requesting https://livestream.tesla.com/haveReservationsStarted every 30 seconds. Most of the requests are failing with 502 HTTP errors.

Why are they hosting their own streaming service instead of using YouTube?

I really wish they'd just use Twitch. Twitch can handle tens of thousands of viewers on esports matches. I'm sure it can handle some thousands of nerds wanting to look at trucks.

Elon plans to go to Mars, surely he can handle video streaming...

These are two very different things

How are they doing this without triggering a browser prompt to allow my location to be sent by browser? The result for me was very accurate. Why wouldn't all the ecommerce sites use this method? I keep denying their prompts to access my location otherwise.

Looks like they using Akamai.

Fail, using an old version of NGINX 1.10.2 and no HTTP/2 support enabled.

They probably use an IP database, like MaxMind.

That just looks like Maxmind's GeoIP. https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/whats-new-in-geoip2/
