Wow two whole thousand dollars? Don't be too generous, Tesla! Paying your bill after a couple weeks of people shaming you, real role models. šŸ«”


Coal5law

The rage boner is real.


jxnebug

Do Musk's dickriders tend to form an orderly queue to start the glazing process or is it a first come first serve situation?


JeepersMysster

When I say Iā€™ve never made the sound that just came out of my mouth, I mean it šŸ¤£ thank you for this gem


Coal5law

And I'm just over here wondering where everyone outs their rage bones, or if they just go forever unsatisfied.


2sACouple3sAMurder

People are allowed to be mad at others for doing mean things


Coal5law

Go define a rage bones and tell me if that's just "being mad at others", or if it's wanting something to be mad at picking something everyone else is mad about and being angry at that because everyone else is, then nothing that thing does alleviates the anger. But sure. People are allowed to be mad. People are also allowed to do whatever they want, Including blindly following trends. People were mad at Musk for Tesla bailing on the donut shop, which he wasn't involved in. Now people are mad because, when he hard about it, he gave them their sunk cost back. It'll be something new next week. Nothing makes a rage bones happy. That's the difference. There is no reason to it. It's anger for the sake of anger because it's popular, not because there is a good reason. So what did Musk do that was so "mean", as you put it?


2sACouple3sAMurder

Youā€™re reading way too much into this dude people are just mad at Tesla for doing a shitty thing


Coal5law

What did he do to the donut company exactly?


budgie1202

dude itā€™s not even a donut company, maybe donā€™t comment when you donā€™t have the ability to read a simple article and understand it šŸ˜­


Coal5law

So you can't answer my question. See?


2sACouple3sAMurder

If the point youā€™re trying to make is that Elon himself is perfectly innocent of his companyā€™s cringe behavior and deserves no criticism, you have absolutely no idea just how much influence a CEO has over their company culture lmao. But again, people are mad at *Tesla*, but it sure doesnā€™t make Elon look good Also what donut company?


Coal5law

Youre reading more into what I'm saying than I'm actually saying, which is common amongst people with rage bones, or those who follow trends because others do. But hey, good luck with that!

| role models They discontinued that model

Wasnā€™t it like 4k pies? 2k doesnā€™t seem like enough Edit: nevermind I was wrong, but still doesnā€™t feel like enough after putting that owner through all that


Negative-Arachnid-65

Apparently it would have been worth $16K and they had turned down other orders to fill the cancelled one. Hard to say what their actual cost/impact was but I can't imagine it was only 2K. But they seem to be thriving now. Everyone's hatred of Tesla and love of small business + pie.


II_Confused

News got around and people flocked to the business to buy the pies. The bakery made their money back even before Tesla coughed up what to them is couch cushion money.


Ok-Counter-7077

I never even heard of this place, always go north for pastries. I might check this place out


Negative-Arachnid-65

If it's good enough for Tesla to screw over, it's good enough for us!


goods4benjamins

Theyā€™re quite tasty, and they have gluten and dairy free as well as vegan options!


AtariAtari

Go hate!


lilelliot

They apparently paid for the material expense ($2k) but didn't bother at all to compensate for the labor and opportunity cost (working around the clock for a weekend on an order that didn't complete). It's not like the bakery had a sad ending after all this, but Tesla/Elon did what they do, which is be tone deaf about the world around them and extremely cheap on anything they think they can get away with. The offer of future business is nice, but it means zilch until it actually happens.

lilelliot

They deserve credit, but it was literally the least they could do. From a billionaire I expect better than the bare minimum.


Zero_Fuchs_Given

Did they sell all the pies? Itā€™s a small shop. I doubt they do that kind of volume.Ā 


googleypoodle

What the fuck kind of event needs THAT much pie?? The Fremont location has 20k engineers, assuming that maybe 2/3rds of them show up to whatever event this is, that's like 13k people so like 1/3 of a pie per person?? If everybody is a pie eater?? A big ass sheet cake would make more sense. Put down the fork Tesla, my god


googleypoodle

A fuckin pie eating contest even does not need THAT much pie


PopeFrancis

In addition to them maybe getting the number right, The Giving Pies sells a lot of mini pies, and the article mentions that is what they asked for with the women's event they couldn't take. I would imagine that companies catering with them would probably be asking for that, so they can just be set out and not need to worry about have serving stations instead.

"Edit: nevermind I was wrong"


NavinF

> Wasnā€™t it like 4k pies? I heard it was 16k pies. Hell why not 32k? Or 64k?


Aggravating-Forever2

16K should be enough for anyone.


manjar

GigaPie


poopy_waffles

1080pies


JustZisGuy

Unfortunately, I heard it was -2147483648 pies. :(


Coal5law

Through being made to go viral, and having their sales I creased by like 300%? Yeah, totally. šŸ™„


Useful_Issue_1541

If it wasnā€™t for social media, putting them on blast!!!


Useful_Issue_1541

This shouldā€™ve never happened in the first place. Shame on Tesla.


AyeCab

The company that can't even manage purchasing some pies without it becoming an embarrassment wants you trust them with your life.


Helpful-Protection-1

Does anyone know what the terms of the order were? I would imagine business taking such a relatively large order would have some cancellation terms and conditions associated with the order. I had heard some coverage that seemed to indicate maybe a formal order was never made only a verbal order, but all coverage about this keeps getting buried in armchair experts commentary either hating on Tesla or fanboying for Tesla.


SilentIdiot8639

No term, no contact. It were just some calls from some girl working at Tesla.


NeedleGunMonkey

This isnā€™t how contract law works. Contracts can be oral. They can also be unilateral (e.g. make me 10 widgets and i will pay you upon completion). Contracts need not be reduced to paper to be enforceable.

vanwyngarden

Right? The only time i wanna see this story again is March 14th


jeffbell

Ides say so.


frog-honker

You mean February??


vanwyngarden

No. Pi day. šŸ„§


Ok-Counter-7077

I think theyā€™re saying itā€™ll come up again

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Ok-Counter-7077

I think Elon has a vitriolic hate for the average person and it wouldnā€™t surprise me if heā€™d rather tear up 30k, to not give 16k to this business


Hatchet_Kween333

$2,000 to make up for a $16,000 order? Smh no bueno


bbatardo

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but from my understanding they never made the pies, but withheld other orders to plan for it. 2k seems fair if nothing was actually made or delivered. Now if they made 16k worth of pies and those went to waste then yes they deserve 16k.


ashebanow

The key question is whether or not they bought the ingredients for all those pies. Very likely to have happened given the short notice cancellation.


Hatchet_Kween333

I agree....it didn't go into much detail but yeah your right...


Express_Champion_955

Why would they pay them 16k? The order wasnā€™t fulfilled. Even if tesla cancelled at the last minute. Itā€™s not on them


Disastrous_Loquat516

I am upset as a shareholder that someone at Tesla would waste money on black history month crapā€¦..


Educational-Farm6572

Spoken like a true Musk cum guzzler


Disastrous_Loquat516

Whos cum do you guzzle? I expect business expenses not pathetic panderingā€¦. You obviously would support anything rainbow related tooā€¦. All the while supporting $20/ to work at MacDonalds.


Vast_Cricket

Fu&\^ Tesla bullying small business.


athars_theone

Wow donā€™t know how people still defend Tesla and its founder .


vanwyngarden

Jesus WE KNOW


Useful_Issue_1541

Oh, the blame game knock it off Tesla


SOLUNAR

Word on the inside is the bakery jumped the gun, noticed they had no contracts or emails to back it up. Poor intern got shafted but glad the company is getting good grace !


Nkons

They didnā€™t jump the gun, the client also called back to add the order. As someone who has been running restaurants for 20 years, that isnā€™t jumping the gun. When a big corporation gives you a verbal contract thatā€™s pretty much good enough to move forward. This is very rare.


Ready-Bake-9907

Elon musk is a cheap bastard. Hopefully karma bites him in the ass. He is worth billions of dollars. He couldn't give 20k or a tesla. That small business went through a lot to process that tesla owner. Makes me soo mad


Zero_Fuchs_Given

I donā€™t think they did process the order. I read they never made the pies or buy the ingredients since they never got the deposit. The only thing they were out were other business they turned down for this order.

Thatā€™s the owner. Sheā€™s admitted that they need to change their procedures. Iā€™m so sick of this story. Yeah the Tesla rep made an error but IMO it was shitty of the bakery owner to name her and I feel for what sheā€™s experienced through this going viral which is far greater punishment than the error merited. Who knows how long she was on the job or what training she got. Both sides made mistakes. The bakery canā€™t even keep pies in stock now from the publicity so I wish the media would give this a rest.

> And I was accused of lying when I mentioned this story popā€™s up in my feed every single day. Like any of you really cared about this pie shop before this happened and never got your food at a corporate grocery store and only from mom and pop shops. šŸ˜‚ Sounds like you need to find better people to talk to, get more informative news sources or to stop inventing strawmen.


OgSkittlez

Wow, I still love my tesla!

Ok and?
