AI Summary

Tesla's decision to make its Model S and X designs open source has raised questions about the company's intentions. The move follows a similar release of the Roadster's design, which was later found to have been altered to conceal certain details. This precedent suggests that Tesla may be withholding information from the open-source release of the Model S and X. The implications of this development are unclear, but it highlights the need for scrutiny in the open-source release of complex designs.
