特斯拉的承诺
特斯拉始终如一地承诺：特斯拉不针对从事有关电动汽车或相关设备的活动因善意使用而侵犯到特斯拉专利的任何一方提起诉讼。该承诺的关键术语如下文诠释。
关键术语的定义
"特斯拉专利"指的是特斯拉现在或将来所有的全部专利（不包括与第三方共同所有的专利或特斯拉今后获得的成为防止其受该承诺约束的阻碍的任何专利）。该承诺下的特斯拉专利列表保留在如下网址上：
https://www.tesla.cn/legal/additional-resources#patent-list。
"善意使用方"是指：如果该方及其隶属公司没有：
主张、协助他人主张或对该主张进行财务资助：（i）针对特斯拉的任何专利或其他知识产权；或（ii）针对第三方使用涉及电动汽车或相关设备的技术的任何专利权；
挑战、协助他人挑战、或财务资助挑战任何特斯拉专利；或
市场推广或销售任何山寨产品（例如，通过模仿或复制特斯拉产品的设计或外观制造的产品或表明与特斯拉有关或经特斯拉授权的产品）或向进行该行为的另一方提供物质协助。
========================================================
专利列表
(一些攻击言论称特斯拉开放的大多是外观专利，但实际上以下列表中仅仅包含20项左右的外观专利。
另有一些言论认为，国内新能源车并未使用特斯拉开放的专利，但迄今未见国内厂商正式的表态。而众所周知，专利是企业的护城河，由开源代码或开放专利不用，坚持一切自研的想象是不切实际的）
