Yesterday, there was a wall of Tesla patents in the lobby of our Palo Alto headquarters. That is no longer the case. They have been removed, in the spirit of the open source movement, for the advancement of electric vehicle technology.
Tesla Motors was created to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport. If we clear a path to the creation of compelling electric vehicles, but then lay intellectual property landmines behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a manner contrary to that goal. Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology.
When I started out with my first company, Zip2, I thought patents were a good thing and worked hard to obtain them. And maybe they were good long ago, but too often these days they serve merely to stifle progress, entrench the positions of giant corporations and enrich those in the legal profession, rather than the actual inventors. After Zip2, when I realized that receiving a patent really just meant that you bought a lottery ticket to a lawsuit, I avoided them whenever possible.
At Tesla, however, we felt compelled to create patents out of concern that the big car companies would copy our technology and then use their massive manufacturing, sales and marketing power to overwhelm Tesla. We couldn't have been more wrong. The unfortunate reality is the opposite: electric car programs (or programs for any vehicle that doesn't burn hydrocarbons) at the major manufacturers are small to non-existent, constituting an average of far less than 1% of their total vehicle sales.
At best, the large automakers are producing electric cars with limited range in limited volume. Some produce no zero emission cars at all.
Given that annual new vehicle production is approaching 100 million per year and the global fleet is approximately 2 billion cars, it is impossible for Tesla to build electric cars fast enough to address the carbon crisis. By the same token, it means the market is enormous. Our true competition is not the small trickle of non-Tesla electric cars being produced, but rather the enormous flood of gasoline cars pouring out of the world's factories every day.
We believe that Tesla, other companies making electric cars, and the world would all benefit from a common, rapidly-evolving technology platform.
Technology leadership is not defined by patents, which history has repeatedly shown to be small protection indeed against a determined competitor, but rather by the ability of a company to attract and motivate the world's most talented engineers. We believe that applying the open source philosophy to our patents will strengthen rather than diminish Tesla's position in this regard.
Moi ce que je vois la dedans c'est que Tesla veux que les autres compagnies produisent des vehicules électriques pour pouvoir les fournir en batterie de leur "Mega-usine".

Je comprend, mais au pire, tant mieux, non?
J'me dis que plus qu'on est capable d'avoir de bolides électriques dispo sur le marché, le mieux c'est pour nous en tant que consommateur!
Il y a probablement qqch qui est dans leur intérêt au final s'ils ont pris cette décision là...
Il me semble que tesla etais sencer installer des systeme de charge un peu partout au US et ca serais gratuis
Alors peut etre qu'il veule que les autre compagnie utilise le meme type de charge alors leur systeme pourrais etre rentable si il y a plusieur utilisateur de differente compagnies
Ca va peut etre gratuis pour les proprietaire de tesla mais les autre marque vont devoir payer pour ce faire charger

En fait les Superchargers recharge 80% de la batterie en 20minutes. Et l'utilisation est gratuite pour les Tesla qui ont la batterie 85kw... Ceux qui ont la 60kw peuvent les utiliser seulement si ils payent une option à 2000$ à l'achat de la voiture.
j'ai une confiance aveugle en tous se que'entreprend Elon Musk.
... comme tout ceux qui ont essayé la modele S. C'est simplement la meilleure voiture à l'heure actuelle.
Vous etes pas convaincu? venez l'essayé.
j'ai encore de la difficulté à saisir quel est l'intention avec cette annonce mais selon moi il est très honnête et souhaite réellement que les gens adopte la voiture électrique. Il veut que cette technologie soit développé d'avantage.
It’s not clear exactly how the electric car maker will go about licensing its technology to other companies, but Musk says that its entire portfolio–spanning several hundred patents–will be covered, including its high-speed battery-charging technology. “It will grow over time because we’re not going to stop doing patents,” Musk said during a conference call on Thursday. “We’ll keep doing them and then put them into what is essentially an open source category.”
Asked what Tesla shareholders thought of the company’s move, Musk downplayed the importance of owning patents, saying it was more important for a company to be constantly creating new technologies than to doggedly pursue lawsuits against other companies doing similar things.
“You see a lot of these battles going on with giant companies firing massive patent lawsuits against one another, the obvious example being Apple and Samsung,” he said. “You wonder who’s really benefiting there. And it seems like neither one. It doesn’t seem like it’s actually serving shareholders.”

Je suis d'accord! Il a une vision incroyable pour l'avenir. J'ai un grand respect pour lui!
En meme temps ses un tres bon move de maketing pour tesla
