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.
