I'm not saying this advice is right or wrong, but as with any similar 
situation, a lot of misinformation and speculation is going round.  Be 
careful.

If you get sick, please don't assume (1) that it's C-19; and (2) that if it 
is, you can treat it yourself.  Call the doctor's office or hospital and get 
going, get tested, get treated.  This virus can give you pneumonia,  which a 
friend of mine who had it (pneumonia) said is unsettlingly similar to 
drowning. 

As for the idea of converting Tesla to make ventilators, it's an interesting 
idea, and we need ventilators pretty badly.  I have some doubts that many 
people will be buying Evs or any vehicles for a while.  I guess the 
precedent would be all the factories converted to airplane production during 
the second world war.  I have no idea whether it would really help this 
time.

Elon Musk often tackles such challenges with intensity and enthusiasm, so he 
just might be able to make it go.  His drive is one thing I admire about 
him.  But things didn't work out so well with his submarine idea for the 
flooded cave rescue in Thailand, so maybe some caution is called for.
