How is it FUD when the water supplier itself said that Tesla didn't pay its bills and thus turned off the water? https://m.dw.com/en/germany-water-turned-off-at-tesla-gigafactory-over-unpaid-bills/a-55292250 https://m.dw.com/en/germany-water-turned-off-at-tesla-gigafa... What's the name of the new water supply company? The agreement they signed a few days ago was with the same supplier that just turned off the water. What most likely happened was that Tesla quickly paid their bills and got the water running again and are spinning this to hide their embarrassment. The "bigger line" they are talking about is the permanent underground line they got built and can finally use. Before that they used temporary overground lines.

  It's possible that someone somewhere made a mistake and the bill never made it to where it should go. They were working on getting a larger water pipeline installed AFAIK. The factory construction wasn't stopped because of this though. People film the Berlin site with drones daily.

    The water supplier said they sent multiple reminders and waited 14 days after the last reminder before turning it off. This is standard procedure in Germany.

    They are a 400 billion dollar corporation. Not a ma and pa bakery in town. Again, what’s going on with the management?

    Anyone who has sent a bill to a company knows it's very very very hard to get some companies to pay bills on time (or at all).

      It's always been funny, not ha ha funny, how much society savages poor people for missing a payment. And no one talks about how large companies drag out payments and no one cares. Wealthy people often up and refuse to pay.
