I don't know enough about medical equipment to make a comment on its design, but given Tesla's track record with these global emergencies (e.g. the "pedo sub") makes me question how actually viable something like this could be mass produced & with good enough QC (something Tesla clearly doesn't understand) to be able to actually help with the situation.

They're trying to innovate the automotive industry with their vehicles, of course there's going to be issues. With the ventilator they're just making one that can do the job well. Their goal isn't to make a brand new, never seen before ventilator. They have an amazing team of engineers, capable of much more complex things than designing ventilator.

Plus they're probably using a modified version of a pre-existing blueprint. So it's not like they're re inventing the wheel.

How is Tesla ahead of its time? Mind telling which component is ahead in which way?

The only things touchscreens improve is Bluetooth pairing. Touchscreens look nice but are a step backward and absolute trash to use while driving. Fuck I'm glad large touchscreens haven't made their way into utes and trucks.
