S & P sets Tesla's credit rating to B-

by

The upcoming car manufacturer received an unsolicited B- credit rating from Standard & Poor due to "considerable uncertainty" about its long-term prospects. The rating, six levels below investment grade, was derived independently of Tesla and comes after over $2.3 billion was successfully raised by the company in March to fund a new battery factory.

Shares in Tesla have risen 41 percent this year.

How does this compare to other car companies? Particularly, the credit rating itself, but also the collaborative (or not) process? Not that I suspect it's a conspiracy theory, but it wouldn't surprise me if S&P was pressured to say bad things about Tesla, so long as they could make it look reasonable.
