Usually the business model is the company pays the credit rating agency to get their debt rated (hence the classic conflict of interest situation). Unsolicited would suggest this was not the case.

Given the way that one hand tends to quietly grabass the other in prestigious U.S. financial organizations and large corporations, we should probably narrow the title to "unsolicited by Tesla".

It could just be S&P wanting Telsa to buy their services.
