For those that follow Elon Musk and his company Tesla, this is an incredible step and daring! I look up to this man, his thirst of success and his attitude towards green energy. No matter what side of the coin you may be on regarding global warming, it is never a bad thing to develop greener tech. But that's just me. I don't think we'll ever make due without fossil fuel but I truly believe we can significantly reduce our carbon emissions if we put our efforts into it. I for one would buy the Tesla S in a heart beat if I could afford it.

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.
