tl;dr After local news aired the story, Tesla has paid the pie shop $2,000, the cost of ingredients for the cancelled order.

    I’m glad to hear the community has rallied around the business, but that doesn’t excuse Tesla from bilking them.

    Exactly. Excuses like these are just a stone throw away from “You should pay Tesla to give your business work. Just think of the expose you get!” rhetoric. Tesla is essentially riding into the sunset on the back of the wonderful community that came in to show support for a local business. It’s a happy end only in spite of Teslas awful role in it.

      What, you don’t get paid in exposure?

      If anyone knows the conversion rate for exposures to USD, can you let me know? I’m having trouble getting anyone to accept it as currency…
