There is no legal covenant here. I imagine Tesla’s definition of “good faith” is “we evaluate on a case by case basis”.

Which amounts to “if we like you” and “we reserve the right”. If they wanted these patents to be open source, they would license them explicitly.

They would be on the receiving end of a PR shitstorm if they tried to enforce their patents after publishing this.

Tesla has shown time and time again they don't mind PR shitstorms.
