Elon Musk confirmed that Tesla is currently working on version 3 of its vaccine printer for CureVac and he believes that it is going to be an “important product for the world.”
Earlier this year, Musk announced that Tesla has become the manufacturing partner for biotech firm CureVac who is working on a COVID-19 vaccine based on their RNA technology.
The CEO announced that Tesla would be “building RNA micro-factories for CureVac,” a Germany-based company.
It was surprising since it’s a completely different sector than electric vehicles or renewable energy.
But as we previously reported, Tesla had been working with CureVac since last year — prior to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Tesla filed a joint patent with CureVac on a possibly revolutionary “bioreactor for RNA.”
