"We're all human. We all make mistakes, and they're trying to do good on their mistakes. So if they want to work with me and they're not bitter about the whole experience, then yes!" First, what a sweet lady. Second, major props to San Jose residents. Third, just to give them due credit, good job Tesla and Elon Musk for reimbursing the costs without much fanfare. Fourth, as soon as the Tesla decided to cancel, they should've realized that they threw the bakery under the bus. A screenshot of the text Ms. Rasetarinera got showed that it was basically just "sorry, thanks anyway" without any hint that Tesla will reimburse. Had she not made the social media post, the community wouldn't have rallied behind them. Now it just looks like Tesla got checkmated instead of taking leadership on making good their error.

So they were going to get 4,000 pies for $2000? That’s a great deal. That’s 50 cents a pie. Meanwhile Crumbl cookie is out here charging $15 for 4 cookies 😂
