Electric car company Tesla has made its Roadster vehicle fully open-sourced, which means car enthusiasts can actually build the vehicle in their garage with some assembly. Tesla CEO Elon Musk informed his followers that \u201cTesla Roadster is now fully open-sourced. \u201cAll design and engineering of the original @Tesla Roadster is now fully open source,\u201d the tech billionaire said. \u201cWhatever we have, you now have,\u201d Musk added about the 15-year-old Roadster.<\/p>\n
A follower asked him if this meant he could build his own roadster in his garage. Musk replied: \u201cSome assembly required.\u201d The Roadster page includes service, parts, and owner manuals, wiring schematics, and R&D documents on the car\u2019s battery monitor board, vehicle display system, and HVAC controller. Tesla open-sourced all its patents back in 2015. The original Tesla Roadster hasn\u2019t been in production for more than a decade now Tesla produced just over 2,000 units of Roadster, and many of them were lost to accidents and some very unfortunate fires at a garage in Arizona, reports Electrek.<\/p>\n
