"opening up patents"
There is still no truly legally enforceable promise, that explains in detail, exactly what Elon is giving away and what he isn't, and what the terms are.
It's now 1.5 months later, and despite many people asking such a thing, nothing has been forthcoming at all.
So before you give them amazing amounts of credit for this, could we please wait till they actually do something more than PR?
- nitrogen 12y agoDo you know for sure that they haven't been negotiating the promised agreements in secret? I'd be very surprised if behemoth automakers managed to finish an agreement in less than two months, when it can take years in other cases. I'd also be surprised if the automakers wanted their names thrown around by Tesla before anything was official.
- Chronic29 12y agoWe know for sure they haven't been negotiating and agreement. You'd hear about it otherwise.
- tzm 12y agoNissan and BMW are currently hammering details with Tesla on this very issue.
- DannyBee 12y agoGreat, so when that is resolved, and it ends up as Elon says it would, i'll happily give him credit. But that's still "in the future" :)
