At this point I would expect that there were open source cars, laptops, televisions, etc. But as far as I know there are only open source mobile phones. Why is that?

It's a matter of time. Just like with software, you have to have a bias toward open source, freedom respecting objects and support them with your cash.

Time is a concept which comprises of events. Things don't happen on their own and cash is of course the thing lacking but "support" is the wrong word here. Free software should earn cash!
