Tesla's new bioweapon defense mode


Does anyone ever wonder, "Would my car ever be safe from harmful pollution?" Well, According to Tesla, health risks from air pollution are "statistically" more hazardous than automotive collisions, because they lead to so many adverse health effects, so the automaker began work on the "high-efficiency particulate air" (HEPA) filter for Model X. The filter cleanses the incoming air of any pollen, bacteria, and pollution before they even enter the cabin air, as well as cleaning air that's already circulating within the car. “Health and safety are important to us,” says Tesla. “Just as we’ve designed Model S and Model X to avoid collisions or protect their occupants when one happens, we felt compelled to protect them against the statistically more relevant hazard of air pollution. Inspired by the air-filtration systems used in hospitals, clean rooms, and the space industry, we developed a HEPA filtration system capable of stripping the outside air of pollen, bacteria, and pollution before they enter the cabin and systematically scrubbing the air inside the cabin to eliminate any trace of these particles.”
