Interesting design...wasn’t clear if the have access to enough non Tesla parts though.

cool video.. thanks for sharing.
Folks are soon going to realize that ventilators are actually fairly simple and have not had much fundamental innovation over the years (think:cars). When this is all done, the old-school ventilator companies are going to have a tough time keeping up with the new designs and approaches to ventilation (Dyson and Tesla would be cool to see)
Making it out of car parts will make it huge! I mean the billion breath ventilator is cool, but simplicity and small size should be the goal, no?
Sure, every design choice is a tradeoff, but we've already had reports of Dyson designing a ventilator over a weekend, and MIT students designing one that could be made out of parts from Lowes for $100. So, design time shouldn't be an issue, and neither is profit. When I mentioned "simplicity", it's implicit that the device have as few parts, new or old, as possible. Giant ventilators make them harder to ship quickly, and harder to implement in crowded spaces. Ideally, you'd want something that could hang onto the siderail of the bed, as opposed to something that is so large it needs to be wheeled around separately.If you had a couple years to design it and were looking to make it a profitable product, sure. But since we need them right now, we need as little new engineering and manufacturing as possible. Minimum time to market, maximum life-saving potential. Using as many existing parts as possible is the way to go for that goal.
Seems like the biggest deal is having the parts at all, regardless of if they're new or old. Making them out of car parts when the factory that assembles the car is shutdown makes a lot of sense to me - I'm sure that Tesla has a bunch of Model 3 screens and computers stockpiled.Sure, every design choice is a tradeoff, but we've already had reports of Dyson designing a ventilator over a weekend, and MIT students designing one that could be made out of parts from Lowes for $100.
