It’s so you can figure out what you will pay and what options are available.

Gotcha makes sense

I made a poll this morning about when it will crash, but it was deleted after a few minutes.

Am I the only one bothered by the "Eastern Standard Time"? We're still in Daylight Saving Time. 12 AM EST is 1 AM EDT. Sorry, OCD getting the best of me.

You ever wonder why OCD isn't CDO????

This is essentially just window shopping. We won’t order with dealer for a little bit. (Nov-Dec)

That’s what I thought. Plus, these prices and options can change betw now and order time??

So it will take approximately ten minutes for people to figure out that it doesn't offer what they want and the prices are too high. I may have to avoid this site for a while, all this complaining is depressing me.

You are correct, most of the B&P code should be running on your computer in your browser. The back end servers could get overloaded if 200K users are hitting refresh over and over again and that will should only happen if everyone hits it at exactly 12:01 and they can't keep up all the initial GET requests.

I'm also sure you are correct in that they will have a load balancer directing traffic between different regions and can probably failover to east region for some traffic because at 12am it will probably get less load than the west at 9pm.

However, even with a cloud based deployment they'd need to have architected the system well so that it can scale out seamlessly and that's a big if.

I do think this will go much smoother than the reservation system because the code will mostly be running on the host and there shouldn't be any back end database bottle necks that you get trying to enter reservations sequentially.

Waiting room and caching on 200,000 servers globally, I think the site will be fine.

I do wonder why people think B&P will suddenly have previously unannounced trim levels and colors. I think people will be dissapointed. I only expect you to be able to find final pricing on the already announced packages.

Working afternoons, be home just about midnight. I'll have to sleep in tomorrow!

Flat out silly that they’re marketing a bnp tool like it’s a major launch ?

Hey, as long as we've been waiting for this - it IS major!

What a trash update. I was hoping that 12 AM PST time would keep all the boomers from crashing the site until they wake up with the roosters.
