So to try and bring back to software terms. There can be two reasons for a shaky launch in a software product: 1) An app is solid, has awesome QA... but the environment does not. You need to shake out some networking bugs / load bugs, etc. 2) The app is terrible. Every part of it is broke. needs a total rewrite. To an end user both feel the same, but the expected curve to make it stable is VASTLY different. In theory Tesla has been in the car business for at least a few years. It MAY be closer to 1. Maybe 2 or 3 vendors are 3 months behind schedule in delivering production machines. Which is bad, but not "we are totally screwed" bad. On the other hand, it is insanely ambitious. It totally could be a #2 totally screwed bad. Time will tell.
