    Tesla trying to raise $100 million?

    Of troubled electric-car maker Tesla Motors, the shining light of Silicon Valley's nascent clean-transporation industry, commenter quistrl writes:

    I hear the company is trying to raise 100mm with Goldman acting as the banker, anyone else hear anything.

    First we've heard. Anyone else know if Goldman is out peddling a stake in the company? If true, it must take guts on the parts of Goldman's bankers; as trendy as cleantech is, money-losing startups are not in vogue.
