All 27 times we tried to get through because it "didn't work", an order was placed but we got no notification. We only found out when logging in with our Tesla-Account on their website. We ordered 27 Teslas. 52k each,” the son explained on Reddit. Tesla Engineers Work To Design Ventilators From Tesla Model 3 Parts; Video Up on Tesla's Official YouTube Channel.
