the way it works with large companies ordering from small companies is that the small company is completely at the mercy of the large one. I've worked for several small companies providing consultancy services to multinationals. Most times you get shafted. Bills get paid late, sometimes not at all. Customer changes the contract to a lower rate unilaterally without prior notice. If you complain you lose the contract completely and effectively are out of business as you now have half your staff or worse without a paying customer.

@@erniejones5008probably. Or someone placed an order they weren't allowed to place, and a supervisor or higher level manager decided to cancel because of that. Have seen that happen more than once when working for major corporations. Lower level managers have a very strict set of rules they have to follow when ordering stuff, and a low budget platform. Everything outside that MUST get prior approval, but sometimes the lower level manager will place the order first and ask for permission later, assuming it will be granted.

Report it then let it live online, but there were several reports about this. The current and former mayor went to visit the store obviously to show that they care more then musk. It’s so blatantly obvious you miss it because you want to. How about a story about publicly funded hybrid VTA cars sitting behind a covered fence for years without being used or maintained. the city wants to sell them and now the city needs public money to sell them. That story got a once over then found a place online. There are no follow ups with the mayor or people from VTA. Let’s be totally honest. While a bakery in San Jose admittedly got screwed over it gets at least 2 follow reports to show the public support… is that really necessary??

I would love to know how a company can cancel an order once it is made. Surely they'd have to pay for it at least.

Tesla owes them a couple cars.

The irony is that it was supposed to be for a black history event. lol

[@companyconfidential6624]

They did that purpose. It’s a good thing it’s working out.

😂😂😂😂 From the book of "Elon bad." He personally called them and ordered pie. At least I got to have a free Nothing Burger and a laugh clicking on this

[@ispbrotherwolf]

That looks so darn good 😃

Two words: nonrefundable deposit. Require it from them every time from now on. If they bitch, remind them of how much grief they got with this.

[@IaneHowe]

Thats why we get 50% non refunded deposit for big orders no matter what.

YAY🎉

[@derricksmalls2293]

Wow an actual story. Sad times.

[@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648]

Getting a substantial deposit also helps prove the orderer is legit.
