'Device & shipping cost are free. Only requirement is that the vents are needed immediately for patients, not stored in a warehouse,' said Elon Musk.

Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said on Tuesday the company has extra FDA-approved ventilators that can be shipped free of cost to hospitals within regions where the electric carmaker delivers.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment on how many ventilators it has to offer, or how the company will prioritize requests. Two weeks ago Musk said Tesla could easily make ventilators, though he questioned the need for them. Then days later he said Tesla had purchased excess ventilators from China.
