I don't know the proper legal answer to that, but you'd lose that argument in front of a judge if you gave away a locally printed copy of someone's music or writing. I wonder more about copyright here than patent infringement. I suspect Elon would lawyer-slam you pretty hard if you were 3d printing and giving away essential Tesla repair parts, no matter whether you were making money from it or not.

There is an enormous non-OEM (“aftermarket”) parts market for automobiles. It’s a little over $300 billion (with a B) per year in parts and service. Elon can pound sand if someone wants to make a Tesla-compatible aftermarket fender or brake pads.
