I agree. My issue is with Tesla demand uncritical adulation for a PR project that is being designed without any input from actual users (like the cave submarine that was completely unusable for its stated purpose) on a timeframe that basically ignores the ongoing crisis.
We have sufficient manufacturers of ventilators to build up spare capacity after the crisis is over. It is not praise worthy for Tesla to build a luxury ventilator that won't be ready until months or years after this crisis is over (assuming they actually take it to production).
