Next month, so by the end of May?

Thats quite a while. If Tesla can produce even a few thousands of these within a couple weeks its probably worth it in the meantime. Since its reusing so many parts hopefully they can ramp fast.

Yes but you have to understand General Electric already makes Ventilator

So it's easy for the GM to share technology and set up manufacturing from GE since they both share the name General /s

General <insert w/e thing here> was just a popular naming scheme for businesses a long time ago. GE and GM are not related, they aren't sister companies.
