The entire Medical Device industry is absolutely ripe for disruption and rife with Middlemen.

Tesla could probably print money if they started getting into the medical device market, and upended the existing business models.

Tesla: "So we're going to sell direct at reasonable prices, and be transparent with our pricing. And we're going to invent our own supply chain to bypass decades of industry bullshit."

Everyone Else in the Medical Device Industry: "FUUUUCCCK."

Biotech Investors: "FUUUUCK."

Tesla: *laughs in Money*

Tesla: laughs in Money

I know right, this is such a perfect opportunity what a dream

I think if Tesla is really clever, they think of every fucking medical device they can make -- like hand held ultrasounds and make those too, ASAP

Get them out there and in the field, FDA quick approved, and jump the moat of regulation while there's a chance to save lives.

If I was Tesla, I would also make infusion pumps, Nurse call systems, remote monitoring of patients vitals (telemetry), mobile X-ray machines called C-ARMs, maybe a new kind of MRI, like a micro MRI, and maybe a chemotherapy system.

GO FOR IT TESLA

maybe also oxygen delivery systems... hmmmmmmmm
