@ 40 minutes and still broken - epic outage at the worst time.

How much did Ford have riding on this launch?

What a goat rodeo. I do online services for a living and scaling up prior to a launch is a no-brainer. After fighting with their site I finally got to a reservation screen, when I clicked reserve I get - hey your s**t dealer does not accept reservations.

EPIC FAIL

If this is the best software development they can come up with I would advise everyone to run away from Ford's EV's.

I've been trying to make a reservation since 5:00 pm pacific time. Been waiting and waiting. Getting all the same fail from the process as everyone else. What a mess.

I registered for this site just to complain. This is ridiculous. Waited over a year for this reveal and can't even reserve. Epic Fail. Ridiculous.

This should read:

Due to the fact that we are amateurs and could not scale cloud compute, we are not able to serve up a basic website ordering system. Please come back later when we pulled our heads out of our asses and figured out its 2020.

It was busted faster than that. I was logged in, then it kicked me out at speshul o'clock. When I tried to log back in, it just spat out errors.

I am completely in agreement. I am a software engineer and this is absolutely laughable. If I had a release like this, I'd get fired.
