You can register and get some pages "for free" (except I regard registration as not being free as you will become "the product".

It's also variable. Yesterday it said registration (giving them info and loging-in, etc.) would give the article whereas today they want money with no offer of just registration.

Most FT stuff seems paywalled these days.

12ft.io gets round many paywalls, but not all

The whole Tesla thing is really really bad...
Imagine putting US troops in a car where they couldn't open the door quickly in the event of a fire or at 70mph, bits start falling off it.
The govt. has deleted the word Tesla from their documents (as Tesla is a bit toxic at the moment) in an attempt to cover up their intended purchase and simply refer to them as 'electric vehicles'. It's going to be very hard for the Trump administration to sell this to the army if there are persons internally that say 'hang on, what do we need them for and are they reliable?'. Trump may simply proceed regardless. He's hardly one for taking good advice and then they'll have thousands of these things sat in military parking lots, gathering dust.
Consider the quality of the F series of fighter jets (sold globally, Grumman) and Lockheed and BAE systems (personnel carriers and military vehicles) that go through rigorous testing and which have evolved, the Cybertruck doesn't offer a lot. Even the most willing would question the purchase of a vehicle that has limited use and questionable reliability.
Without Cybertruck sales, Tesla is proper f*cked. By the time they sift through the remains, even their battery technology and production facilities will be dated and heading towards obsolescence without major investment. Investment from who?

If ever there was a symbol of Elon Musk's fragile veneer of credibility and integrity, it has to be the Cybertruck surely?

Not to mention the ongoing court case in which the future of their charging network rests on.

It's a case Musk can't lose, and he can't afford to win.
Lose and there's every chance other small companies/people who've been steamrollered by him into just accepting what he's done to them taking matters to court. Quite possibly winning their case.
Win, and the same company, who've got software in his SpaceX program may just pull the plug and walk away. Leaving SpaceX grounded, permantly.

So the court case might literally pi$$ on his fireworks.

What's the likely chances of them winning, in all seriousness considering the judicial interference?

Hardly, IF the court did find against Tesla, there would be royalty agreement put on place.

I quickly looked at the patents, they look very generic block diagram concept, nothing ground breaking.

Remember Samsung V Apple that went on for years, nothing ever came from it in the end.

There has been many many patent claims for concept ideas.

These patent cases are generally small companies chancing their arm to leverage money out of the successful company.

Storm in a teacup either Tesla wins or pays a royalty
