Bond ratings are also determined by past performance and creditworthy-ness of a company. Cash on hand also factors in, but its pretty much unheard of for a company's first rating to be in the A category unless they have serious financial backing and untapped credit reserves.

Yeah, not a fan of S&P at all. Prime example: Look at Fannie & Freddie - they weren't issues junk status and S&P knew about how bad their financial situations were.

Nah, I don't particularly like the term. It's too broad. That said, you may not put your whole savings into Tesla bonds, just in case.

Was going to post the same as COMTNDRVR, sweet.

Doesn't mean they always will, or that life won't throw them a curveball they can't hit.

successful in the short-term perhaps but in the automotive sector it has always meant death in the mid to long term.

Tesla's bonds weren't rated before. This rating was unsolicited and initial. Therefore, there is no reduction. Tesla's bonds were unrated and speculative before the rating anyways. They could not be considered investment grade. Therefore, to call it a reduction is specious.
