Contracts basically always have conditions for each party to back out. There's probably a break fee but for leased vehicles it's probably not that significant.

As a construction company, the Tesla fleet is probably a pretty small portion of their vehicle fleet and cashflow.

Could also be some kind of 'bringing the business into disrepute' clause there.
