The most popular CleanTechnica stories last week involved ventilators, N95 masks, electric car tipping points, COVID-19 testing, and investing in toilet paper vs. Tesla stock. Yes, we are living in strange times

I'm one of the extremely lucky ones on this planet to have been sent home with full pay during this coronavirus pandemic. I sit in the quiet isolation of my home and watch the world through my digital tools, and I'm puzzled by what I see — on many levels — ranging from toilet paper to trading stocks

Tesla is well-placed with cash reserves for several months for several reasons

Elon Musk's ventilators and N95 masks can't come quickly enough. The other day, I woke up to two news stories, one from The Advocate and one from CleanTechnica. The Advocate reported harrowing news, while CleanTechnica gave us a bit of hope. Here in Louisiana, our doctors and nurses are out of protective gear and fear they are infecting patients. Not to mention themselves. This is why the good news that CleanTechnica reported -- Elon's plans to deliver thousands of ventilators and hundreds of thousands of masks -- brings a touch of relief. Hopefully, some of our hospitals can get some of those masks

The most popular CleanTechnica articles of the past week, naturally, included a few pieces related to the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic that's shutting down half the world. Otherwise, hot topics were the Tesla Model Y (have to wonder how much this vehicle would dominate some portions of the news and public consciousness if not for COVID-19), the Volkswagen ID.3 and overall ID lineup/strategy, and other EV and Tesla news and analyses

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel said on MSNBC on Friday, March 20, that Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk told him it would probably take 8–10 weeks to get ventilator production started at his factories (he's working on this at Tesla and SpaceX). I reached out to Musk for clarification on that topic and he replied that, "We have 250k N95 masks. Aiming to start distributing those to hospitals tomorrow night. Should have over 1000 ventilators by next week."

There's a giant, constant, global ping-pong match right now regarding society's response to COVID-19. Some see it as a potentially population-crushing, catastrophic wipeout if drastic measures aren't taken (or aren't taken for a long enough period of time). Some see it as really nothing more to fuss about than the common flu

Everyone seems to be mad at Tesla for staying open while several other businesses shut down to try to flatten the curve and prevent the coronavirus from spreading like a wildfire of the molecular variety. But did you know that Tesla isn't the only automaker that's been open for business

“We will make ventilators if there’s a shortage,” Elon Musk said on Twitter last night. From my perspective, this is why we love Elon Musk. He cares about humanity and wants to help. The swift response on Twitter was that there was a shortage. In fact, "THERE IS A SHORTAGE" (in all caps like that) quickly rose to the top of Twitter's trending topics

Update: Tesla's Fremont factory in Northern California was seemingly deemed an essential business, allowing it to stay open during the wave of business closures aimed at combatting the spread of coronavirus. But then the county sheriff said it was not. Now the situation is unclear and we're waiting on a final conclusion

It seems that someone is targeting popular Tesla fans and customers on Twitter. I thought it was just random at first when I logged into twitter and got a popup memo saying that my account was limited and that I needed to confirm my phone and pass a captcha

Traditional automakers should be terrified of Tesla — and they are — but not because of Tesla’s success or how quickly this company has taken over the entire EV market around the world

As we enter this brand new decade, we're living in an age in which the battery electric vehicle (or BEV for short) is just starting to become mainstream

In 2017, The Economist declared the internal combustion engine "roadkill" on a controversial cover, claiming, "it had a good run. But the end is in sight." For the conservative publication, this was a bold statement. Fast forward to 2020 and now Britain's financial pub points to Tesla as the carmaker to look out for as the industry transitions to electric

We get a lot of flack here at CleanTechnica for being Tesla fanboys, but in reality, we are just a bunch of clean technology nuts that love the things Tesla has done, is doing, and is expected to do out into the future
