Elon Musk says Tesla is willing to make ventilators for hospitals that are running short of those critical medical devices
Workers at Fremont will be given masks to wear while in the plant and their temperatures will be taken as they enter, according to the email.
Fremont was operating Wednesday with only about 2,500 of its typical 10,000 employees, but apparently still building vehicles. That was in direct defiance of a determination by the local sheriff’s department that it only conduct basic minimum operations, such as payroll, human resources and facility maintenance functions because“My understanding is they are still not operating at basic minimum levels,” Sergeant Ray Kelly, a spokesman for the Alameda Sheriff’s Dept., said Wednesday.
“We will make ventilators if there is a shortage,” Musk responded. “Tesla makes cars with sophisticated HVAC systems. SpaceX makes spacecraft with life support systems. Ventilators are not difficult, but cannot be produced instantly. Which hospitals have these shortages you speak of right now?” while its plants are idled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Musk didn’t provide details on whether Tesla was in communication with the Trump administration or California officials about his offer. in response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, an action that gives the federal government broad powers to enlist private companies to help with national crises. “@elonmusk New York City is buying!,” he said via Twitter.
