Tesla as an open source?
Thought you might like to read Elon Musk take on patents and open source in the EV market.
All Our Patent Are Belong To You | Blog | Tesla Motors |
And...
Tesla Stock Negative After Patents - Business Insider Wonder if you can still depreciate patents you open source, and what this will do the partnership agreements. |
Its likely he is soo big, you cant hurt him at this point. Like Coke Cola, they talked about releasing the formula as they are soo big, no one can compete with them.

So is it better to have a really small pie all to yourself, or have a fairly small share of a really big pie? IBM made a heck of a lot more money by basically making the original PC open source, than Apple did by keeping the Mac &c as closed source.

Elon is on the leading wave of the future of business. Software and media were first to go open source. Now energy and goods will go open source as micro-renewable energy and 3D printing emerge.

Tesla's plan to share its tech is bold, exciting, and a sign of weakness | The Verge The new way is to cooperate to build an arena to compete in. This is about the charger stations and the battery factory more than it is about the car. Here's a more empathetic view from PC Magazine: Report: Nissan, BMW Interested in Talks with Tesla About Vehicle Charging It points out that Mercedes is already on board: Quote:

For what it's worth, "18650" is a standard and common size for a LiIon cell, it's just that Tesla is using an 18650 with specific properties.
(An 18650 is 18 mm diameter, 65 mm long. Compare to, say, a 14500, which is the same size as a AA alkaline or NiMH cell, at 14 mm diameter, 50 mm long.) |
I use a lot of these batteries for projects that need higher voltage as they are 3.5 volts each. Make sure to mark and keep them away from the alkaline as those are just 1.5 volts.
