How much is Tesla making off of these deals?

*edit: Yes, I get that the specs are downloadable and that it's an "open standard" but the articles are all saying that these automakers are "working with Tesla" and therefore Tesla is getting consulting fees.

Also, Tesla is going to be in the business of building/deploying all the charging stations, I guarantee you. So they're going to become the new Standard Oil.
