First of all, I'm glad to answer the landlord's question. It is well known in the electric vehicle industry that elon musk announced in June this year that he would share all Tesla's technology patents with his peers to promote the progress of electric vehicle technology. Musk believes that opening patents will only enhance Tesla's position, not weaken it. He said that technological leadership depends not on patents, but on a company's ability to attract and mobilize talents. As for why the patent should be published so generously, I personally think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for Tesla. The landlord can refer to the following points.
1. Open the patent, a large number of manufacturers and manufacturers who have never set foot in the field of trams will use Tesla's relatively mature and stable experience in building cars and put it into practice, and Tesla will also become an industry leader and lead the whole market forward, which will easily make some followers stop making progress and become later monopolists. If the industry changes too fast, other followers can't adapt to the market changes in time, or have to pay high prices for the right to use, and car companies that don't pay high license fees may be forced to use outdated old technologies; Moreover, the technology transfer of non-patented parts also needs to pay more patent fees. On the contrary, Tesla not only reaped commercial benefits, but also stifled potential competitors.
2. The cost of building a car, for example, in China, compared with Tesla's high price of 500,000 to 600,000, domestic electric vehicle brands are much more close to the people, except for some manufacturers who pay attention to luxury and driving experience. After all, the emphasis is different. For example, representatives are Weilai and Future Cars. As for the price of BYD, a well-known electric brother who is close to the people, we can't ask too much. Domestic electric vehicles still need a certain premium space to make further progress. After all, the economic base determines the superstructure.
3. In addition, lightweight, battery management, body design wind resistance and practical experience in building trams are all difficult for domestic car companies to catch up with at present. As an old representative in the field of electric vehicles, Tesla has its own advantages, just like old car manufacturers, such as French cars, German cars and Japanese cars. Please give domestic cars some time and have more confidence in consumption. I believe that domestic cars will definitely catch up with or even surpass them in the next few years. I hope my answer is correct.
