So, how do you make the SC free for all Tesla vehicles? Further entice other EV manufacturers to use "open-source" patents and charge these non-Tesla vehicles to use the SC network. I'm not sure how Tesla can continue offering freebies without adverse TSLA market price hits.

Could anyone point me to a thread (or comment) pertaining to Tesla patents. It is my understanding the patents were "open sourced" several months ago. Given the increase in competitive EV activity why isn't there chat about Tesla reclaiming these (if possible)?

the reason i asked is due to twitter chatter from short sellers citing lack of site activity thereby reinforcing local labor issues. an answer (day of the week) could dismiss this "uncertainty".
