Tesla (and SpaceX) play a game called "Don't pay suppliers". They instead jump from supplier to supplier to outrun the lawyers.
The problem with that though, is that you eventually run out of good suppliers and have to settle for factories with unproven product.

Oh, so they use the Trump method of paying suppliers. It's well documented how he doesn't pay suppliers.
