I'll be interested to see how well they can scale this up. Production functions are always dependent on the most scare component. Hopefully Tesla can leverage their already existing supplier base to easily source everything needed for this design.
I'm interested in this too. In the video, they said they're attempting to make this using as many car parts as possible, to prevent themselves from taking supply away from other ventilator manufacturers. That's a noble goal, as well as it helps them leverage their existing supply chain.
I'm curious what the mixing chamber is used for in an electric vehicle. Is it part of the climate control system?
It said “Continental” as the manufacturer on it. If I had to guess, I would say it was the reservoir for their adjustable height air suspension.
Ah yes, that makes a lot of sense. It looks quite beefy for climate control.
