Elon Musk reveals the coolest feature of the Tesla Model X: a bio-weapon defense mode button

It's great for allergies.... assuming you spend all your time in the car.... but once you get OUT of the car, you're back to square one...

I wonder what effect turning on the system has on the battery life.... you get 250 miles per charge - but I suspect that's under optimal conditions and the filter being off...

Just like heat right? It's great while you're in your car, but when you get OUT of the car, you're all cold again.

Good stuff, as with anything you need to start somewhere. I personally don't mind if it is fluff to some, it's technology and I like that. And I'm not sure where the "anything with spirit" came from other than ignorance, there are only a handful of cars that will beat that time. No matter if it is an EV or not.

I believe the air filtration system would be mainly aimed at China, where there is plenty of rich to buy them and don't have to breathe the polluted air when driving. Afterall China is promoting EVs.

Or Germany or England or anywhere with a highly populated city - particularly those with lots VW diesel engines
