Moody’s Investors Services today downgraded Tesla’s corporate debt to B3 from B2, one notch further down into junk-bond territory saying the Silicon Valley car maker "will have to undertake a large, near-term capital raise in order to refund maturing obligations and avoid a liquidity shortfall." The ratings reflect "the significant shortfall" in the Model 3 production rate as well as the company’s "liquidity pressures due to its large negative free cash flow and the pending maturities of convertible bonds. Tesla stock is down to $278 a share in late trading.
