Tesla's Website Lockdown: Are They Hiding Something or Just Battling Bots?

So, I tried to check out the latest from Tesla via their RSS feed, and bam, hit a wall. PerimeterX is blocking access, claiming bot activity. Is anyone else experiencing this? This makes me wonder, is Tesla becoming overly secretive? Are they trying to control the flow of information more tightly? Or is this just a necessary evil in the fight against web scrapers and bots?

I find the timing rather curious. With all the recent news and speculation surrounding upcoming features, price changes, and potential new models, this lockdown feels a bit suspicious. Could they be trying to prevent leaks? Perhaps they are preparing for a major announcement and want to manage the hype themselves.

What do you all think? Is this standard website security, or something more? Could this increased security actually backfire and fuel even more speculation and rumors? Share your thoughts and let's discuss. I have a hunch this is just the tip of the iceberg.
