Worried about pollution? With Tesla you can stop worrying

Electric cars have been designed and developed to move without creating pollution. Naturally, cities are the main setting in which they will be driven, for many different reasons. One of them will be the possibility of finding a charging point, something that will be more complicated in rural areas. So they will have to move through places where pollution is a very serious problem, and manufacturers know it. Tesla takes this into account very seriously and has developed a system that completely cleans the interior of the car, protecting its occupants.

The system is similar to the one used in military vehicles, so it is no surprise that the air conditioning control shows the Bioweapon Defense Mode function, that is, a barrier against biological attacks, in which the air filtration system manages to eliminate more than 99% of the toxic substances in the air.

The air filtration system debuted with the Model X, designed for use in cities where there are really serious pollution problems, such as in cities in China and India. This car can be tested perfectly well in real conditions, but the really interesting thing is to push things to the limit, which guarantees its proper functioning.

A filtration system based on the military industry

A Tesla Model X has been placed inside a plastic bubble, which has been filled with toxic gases. Under these extreme conditions the filtration system was activated, and thanks to it the effectiveness of the system could be verified. From now on, this system will also be found in the Tesla Model S, which will include it in the Premium Upgrade Package.

For the moment it is not known whether the Model 3 will have this system, but given the way Elon Musk’s company works, it would not be surprising if this new model includes it, either as standard or in an equipment package.
