First of all, it's not like GM or Ford or Tesla has to start from scratch. The POTUS under the Defense Production Act can order the design drawings, manufacturing procedures, bills of material with sources from any current manufacturer to be given to GM, Ford or Tesla. What the auto manufacturers bring to the table is manufacturing capacity. Second, I am surprised to see you dumping on the Donald in this case. It was GM (big business, remember?) who was trying to extort and take advantage of a national crisis. “ - show quoted text - I’m surprised that someone like Toyota or Honda hasn’t already put them into production. Or the people who make CPAC machines for that matter Toyota or Honda could probably do it but I am not sure they fall under the Defense Production Act. Maybe the US plants do. The key isn't a need to re-invent the wheel. The key is manufacturing capacity and space to do it, something the auto manufacturers have. You may not need to reinvent the wheel but you can certainly make stamped steel wheels and not those gold plated things that cost $30,000 and do far more than you really need. I would simply fall back to the difference between a M1928 (Al Capone) Thompson SMG and the stamped steel M3 Grease Gun. Certainly the Thompson is prettier and has more features but when you just want to throw lead at the bad guy, an M3 is all you need. All we are trying to do is help someone get air in their lungs and back out. In reality that is all a CPAP machine is too. Tim is right. Similar function and technology. |
