About 5 hours later, Musk replied saying the server should be coming back online now. The Tesla chief said the issue may have to do with the team accidentally increasing "the verbosity" of network traffic. He also apologized and indicated that measures are being taken to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Should be coming back online now. Looks like we may have accidentally increased verbosity of network traffic.

Apologies, we will take measures to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Several others tweeted about hardships they were facing because of the issue. Some owners said the server outage had thrown their plans for the night into disarray.
Why It's Important: Tesla owners have access to many vehicle features through the mobile Tesla app. The outage may have to do with a new update to the mobile app earlier this week, the Electrek reported. "Tesla has been having issues with these new features for buyers that integrate into their own system," the report said, citing a source.
Tesla shares closed Friday's session up 3.71% at $1,137.06.
