Tesla delivers 1k ventilators to LA
- caseyf7 7y ago“ Tesla executive Elon Musk, meanwhile, made good on a promise to provide ventilators, Newsom said, and has delivered 1,000 ventilators to Los Angeles.”
- Mountain_Skies 7y agoThat was very fast. I don't know what goes into building a ventilator and Musk's companies are known for quick iterations but this seems like something that would require a good bit of retooling to get started.
- geofft 7y agoHe didn't build them, he bought them from China.
- facethrowaway 7y agoWhat do they look like! How do they function? How did they retool to make them so quickly? How do they compare to normal ventilators? What’s the UI on their control panels? This sounds like a fairy tale to me, with the governor covering for Elon. But maybe they did, in fact, retool in 48 hours and deliver a working product.
