Elon Musk says he'll make ventilators at Tesla's solar panel factory in Buffalo, New York. “Medtronic recognizes the acute need for ventilators as life-saving devices in the management of COVID-19 infections. “We have an ongoing collaboration with Tesla around ventilators that spans from ventilator component manufacturing to full-scale ventilator production,” Medtronic spokeswoman Erick Winkels tells Forbes. The project with Tesla may range from making the PB 560 as well as components spanning Medtronics’ PB 560 and PB 980 model lines, she said. This would be worthless for ventilator manufacturing,” said the person, who hasn’t been in the factory for more than a year.
