Tesla Order Mishap Leads to Booming Business for The Giving Pies Bakery
-
The Giving Pies bakery saw business triple after a payment issue with a Tesla order went viral on social media.
-
Tesla had placed a large order for mini pies worth $6,000, but then canceled after the bakery had already purchased supplies and started production.
-
After the owner voiced her frustration on Facebook, the story spread widely and Elon Musk said Tesla would "make things good."
-
Tesla later reimbursed The Giving Pies $2,000 for costs incurred, but business is still booming with 10 times the normal customers.
-
The owner said she never intended to stir up so much attention and just wanted to share her story, although some accused her of "playing the race card."
