Great example of why you shouldn't deploy critical stuff later in the week. Some team at Tesla is going to have a hell of a weekend.

If I ran a company, I'd just outright ban Friday deploys for anything besides critical bugs.
I'd just ban deployments all week long. There's no good time for some systems to go offline.
Depends on the business. Our Apps primarily support employees so our release window has always been Thursday evenings or weekends for infrastructure.

They're ok with employees losing productivity on Friday but more than a day is unacceptable.

True, but might be infra/hardware related
