Some Tesla Production Lines Stopped Due to Global IT Outage
On Friday, Business Insider reported that some Tesla production lines in Nevada and Texas had been stopped due to the global IT outage, citing sources familiar with the situation.
According to an internal email seen by Reuters on Friday, Tesla informed its staff that it was experiencing an outage with Windows servers, hosts, manufacturing devices, and laptops where users were seeing blue screens on the devices.
The tech outage hampered industries from finance to travel before services started returning after hours of disruption caused by a content update for Microsoft Windows hosts by CrowdStrike.
in a post on social media platform X, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said they had deleted Crowdstrike from all their systems. He did not elaborate on the impact of the outage or specify which of his companies had taken action.
In a reply to a post by Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s CEO on the outage, Musk said this gave the automotive supply chain a seizure.
The Business Insider report said the EV maker had during the night shift sent some production employees home early at its Sparks, Nevada, Texas and Austin, facilities.
According to CrowdStrike, it was working with customers that had been affected by a defect found in a content update for Windows hosts.
