What Happened
"We are 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," one of the Tesla engineers, who is a part of the project, said during the demonstration.
The engineers didn't specify a timeline for the production of the ventilators. "There's still a lot of work to do, but we're giving it our best effort," one of the employees said.
Tesla had to shut down its Fremont and New York factories for regular production due to the shelter in place orders imposed by local authorities.
