Tesla is experiencing a complete network outage that has hit its internal service and customer mobile app a day after the company lost $50 billion in its market value due to its failed 'Battery Day.' The mobile app holds a digital key and and only owners who have a physical version have been able to access and drive their vehicle - leaving those without stranded. Sources familiar with the matter told TechCrunch: The Tesla outage was caused by an internal break of their application programming interface (or API), according to sources familiar with the outage.' The outage appeared around 11:00am ET, with some Tesla owners saying they cannot connect to their car through the mobile app. Lambert, who has three Tesla vehicles, said on the social media site that he was unable to connect to the cars using the mobile app.
