For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

I think they need a better contract for large orders like that.
Eh....having been on both sides of contracts like this.... typically a kill clause is sided heavily toward the one with money.
And even if it wasn't, Tesla has more money to drag out the fight in court long enough that the pie company won't be able to survive.
Is it unheard of for a bakery to establish arbitration agreements to avoid this exact situation? From my understanding, courts are reticent to insert themselves in arbitration unless the agreements made were invalid. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tesla isn't going to call their lawyers for $4k. The phone call would cost more than just paying her. If she filed in small claims, chances are good they wouldn't even show up.
The order was $16,000. The amount of mini pies was 4k. You confused yourself.
You're right, my bad. That's likely a bit too much for small claims, so they might send in an intern or something.
But, Tesla's PR department will probably be giving her the $16k and apologizing for the "miscommunication" before too long.
You would think tesla would, but who knows what they'll do if Musk decides he doesn't like her.
$16k is too much for small claims, but I believe she could get $10,000 from small claims and lawyers aren't allowed in small claims court in San Fran, so she should be able to just go directly after the person who placed and canceled the order.
You would usually charge enough to break even in case of cancellation and only charge the "profit" part upon delivery...
