This is a pretty good gesture. It will be good to spurt innovation since smaller players in the area don't need to worry about infringing.

What about the defensive measure? To defend against being sued. It would be good if Tesla pools the patents with others to form an "open patent" club where all the interested parties can join and use the patent to defend against infringement lawsuits.

Think you mean 'spur' not 'spurt'.

Sorry to be a pedant! Great points. :-)

Thanks for pointing out the error. I'll pay closer attention next time I use it. :)
