Elon Musk vows ‘to make things good’ with Silicon Valley baker ‘who lost $16k after Tesla placed order for 4,000 pies to celebrate Black History Month then canceled at the last minute’

Elon Musk has vowed ‘to make things good’ with the Silicon Valley baker who lost $16,000 after Tesla cancelled an order for 4,000 pies at the last minute.

‘The Giving Pies’ in San Jose, claimed they received an order from Tesla of 4,000 mini-pies for $16,000, which the company cancelled at the ‘last minute.’

‘Just hearing about this,’ Musk wrote on X Friday afternoon. ‘Will make things good with the bakery.’

‘People should always be able to count on Tesla trying its best,’ he added.

Rasetarinera has not heard from Musk since the social media post, she told NBC Bay Area.

Voahangy Rasetarinera said that she took a big hit after the massive pie order caused her to reject other requests, splurge on ingredients and work around the clock with employees to complete the order

Voahangy Rasetarinera, the owner, claimed that she took a big hit after the massive pie order caused her to reject other requests, splurge on ingredients and work around the clock with employees to complete the order.

In a post on Facebook titled ‘How Tesla’s actions hurt my small black women-owned business,’ Rasetarinera explained the series of events.

‘To fulfill the order, I had turned down other Black History Month catering inquiries, purchased supplies, and prepared for a demanding production schedule,’ Rasetarinera explained.

The thousands of mini pies, which cost around $3-$4 each, were supposedly ordered for a Tesla event to commemorate Black History Month.

Rasetarinera said she is now reconsidering her business policies since the mini pie catastrophe.

Tesla are being slammed for placing a huge order for 4,000 pies from a local Silicon Valley bakery before canceling the order last minute

A recent order made by Tesla for 4,000 pies cost the local bakery around $16,000 after the clean energy company allegedly canceled the order all of a sudden at the last minute

Tesla reached out to the locally-loved bakery on Valentine’s Day to place the order for 2,000 mini pies to be delivered the following Tuesday and Thursday – which is short notice for the bakery, according to Rasetarinera.

The post detailed how the payment did not go through, which caused initial concern.

Despite the lack of payment, Laura from Tesla reached out to the bakery again to apologize for the delay and request that the order be doubled to 4,000 pies, assuring the bakery that ‘cost was not an issue.’

Voahangy Rasetarinera says that she took a big hit after the massive pie order caused her to reject other requests, splurge on ingredients and work around the clock alongside her employees to complete the order

Rasetarinera said that her hopes were ‘shattered’ when Laura ‘casually’ texted her to say that Tesla no longer needed the pies after she had already bought the supplies and prepared for the order

‘To fulfill the order, I had turned down other Black History Month catering inquiries, purchased supplies, and prepared for a demanding production schedule,’ Rasetarinera explained.

‘Despite the late hour and short notice, I consulted with my staff, who assured me they could manage the expanded order,’ the post described.

Rasetarinera said that her hopes were ‘shattered’ when Laura ‘casually’ texted her to say that Tesla no longer needed the pies after she had already bought the supplies and prepared for the order.

‘This abrupt reversal left me reeling, realizing the extent of the impact on my small business,’ the business owner said.

‘I had invested time, resources, and effort based on assurances from Tesla, only to be left high and dry.’

After sending Laura a heartfelt message expressing her disappointment, Rasetarinera said that her response attempted to ‘shift blame to upper management.’

‘To me, it was clear that Tesla’s corporate culture prioritized convenience over accountability, disregarding the livelihoods of small business owners like myself,’ Rasetarinera wrote on the company’s Facebook page.
