San Jose bakery loses thousands of dollars after Tesla reportedly cancels large order
A catering contract to celebrate Black Heritage Month turned into a tough lesson for a Black-owned bakery in the South Bay earlier this month.
One of the articles I read said they wanted to make it up to her by letting her do some of their other events. She cancelled other orders, got staff working long hours, and bought a shit ton of ingredients so she could make 4000 pies for them, and they just said "Never mind" like it's no big deal.
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.
Sounds an awful lot like detrimental reliance to me....
Why is this getting downvoted?
Detrimental reliance is the legal principle that would allow the bakery to recover damages from Tesla. In summary: "You promised to pay me for this, and I acted accordingly, but you didn't follow through, so pay up."
Yes because god forbid someone have the audacity to believe a corporation will behave in a professional manner.
