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

The video is livestreaming for me, but it's stuck on "Standby for the Tesla semi unveil". Anyone else seeing this?

I've had this techno on repeat for about fifteen minutes now.

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?

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

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

Really happy not to be the Tesla DevOps group right now.

I bet they outsource these live event streams.

USTREAM

"formattedDeposit" : "$1,000", "hamsterDeposit" : "$5,000", "hamsterFullDeposit": "$50,000", "hamsterTotal1" : "$200,000", "hamsterTotal2" : "$250,000", Is the listed US prices

Curious what "hamster" means in this context.

Instead of batteries, semi is powered by several hamsters on wheels.

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

They are not. They are using ustream. But they are ddosing the server hosting the page with the player.
