The Winter of 2008: NASA's $1.6 Billion Landed December 23 and Tesla's Rescue Round Closed the Same Week — the Legend and the Filing, Printed Separately

Tesla's S-1 tells a more spread-out story: a $40M convertible facility issued across three months, $14.5M of new money in December. Both versions are printed here, labeled.
