"I think we need truly open hardware and someone with money willing to stand against "status quo" of industry, like Elon Musk did with cars."

I- huh? Open hardware? Elon Musk?

I can only find a vague legalese pledge that doesn't seem to be very attractive for real world use according to many, and I know that Tesla is starting to really enjoy being an Apple-like company with such hits like proprietary chargers.

I'm also seeing no Teslas are listed on the supported page for projects like openpilot.

What we need is general opinion to be against such closed ecosystems run by industrialists with world records for wealth concentration. Not dreams of Captain Save A Pleb.



Well, the only thing i meant is that Elon stood against industry with elecrtic car idea. If not him I think not a single major car manufacturer would go for electric by now. And to be clear - agree with everything you've said, or almost everything - not dreaming of cpt. save anyone :)
