Pay 2k$ or deal for weeks and months with "remember how Tesla was a stingy bad corporate and cancelled a large order to a small business without compensation". Noh they can go "Well yeah the cancellation wasn't exactly gracefully, but hey we compensated the business for it. Our bad." Mind you even just paying the while 15k$ would have been small change for them. So I guess they are not utterly (business relations wise) horrible company, but still a cheap conglomerate. permalink fedilink source parent
