Musk says Tesla to open-source Model S and X; doubts raised on scope after Roadster precedent

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company would open-source the Model S and Model X, but questions are being raised over how much will actually be released, citing the earlier disclosure of the original Roadster. Only a small set of files and documents was published, with key design and firmware materials omitted. Licensing terms also drew criticism for lacking standard open-source permissions. Industry watchers are focused on whether a similar approach will be repeated for Model S and X.
