In fact, the company is aiming to repurpose its large supply of auto parts to build ventilators that Tesla hopes can help boost the nation's supply of the life-saving breathing machines. And in a video posted to YouTube on Sunday, a group of Tesla engineers displayed
"We're trying to make some ventilators out of some car parts, so that we can help out the medical industry without taking away from their supply," Lars Moravy, Tesla's vice president of vehicle engineering, says in the video. Joe Mardall, the electric automaker's engineering director, then stands in front of a whiteboard featuring a "pneumatic schematic" print-out that illustrates how Tesla is trying to use a combination of medical machinery and as many car parts as possible in order to build working ventilators.
For instance, the schematic shows that the Tesla engineers are using parts typically found in the suspension system of a Tesla Model S, including the air tank and air-pressure regulator, to build a ventilator's oxygen mixing chamber. The engineers are also using the infotainment computer and touchscreen from a Model 3 to monitor and control a ventilator's air flow.
"We're working on developing our own ventilator design, specifically one that's heavily based on Tesla car parts," Mardall says in the video. "We want to use parts that we know really well, we know the reliability of, and we can go really fast and they're available in volume."

MakeIt No, they aren’t. Even a modicum of the smallest amount of critical thinking is far to much to ask of . To the person running this account: do you ever feel bad about having to do this?
MakeIt Where is dyson I'm sure they could make these easily... Nvm theyll charge out the a** for them
MakeIt Most likely another ploy to abscond with more taxpayer funds. Like many of his business predecessors, much of the revenues are derived from taxpayers. Just another example of crony-capitalism and corruption in Washington.
MakeIt 3 years ago I watched CNBC religiously now...I don't watch it at all. They have jumped the shark and are FULL LIBERAL fake news now. Watch FoxBusiness or business now for your stock advice
MakeIt Elon Musk is simply a superhero. He may not have supernatural powers, but he has incredible abilities. But you shouldn't forget his whole team, which of course also contributes a lot to this.
MakeIt Yeah, fake news.
