Their statement: "Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology." seems vague / loaded to me. What exactly do they mean by "in good faith" ?
If they said: "Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who wants to use our technology." Then that would be very clear cut. The "in good faith" part makes it sound like meaning is hidden, and that there could be unexpected consequences.
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to buying an electric car in the future. Tesla's range is more than enough for me. Hopefully, Tesla will get their Australian distributors sorted out one day ... It's been "by the end of this year" for ages (well over 5 years now, IIRC) ....
