Do You Want to Live Longer and be Healthy? Try Tesla’s BioWeapon Defense Mode

Air pollution is a serious issue that constantly needs addressing. Some places are worse than others, but nearly everywhere on this planet suffers from the fumes and gasses that big cities emit. A lot of these fumes are due to the amount of traffic on the road, and the amount of pollution some of these vehicles give off is dangerously high. So, the first move towards cleaning up our cities air should be focused on a move to EV’s.


Some big cities have already recognized the need to do something and earlier this month Paris decided to limit the number of cars they allow on the road each day in an attempt to clean up the air. The way their system works is by only allowing cars with an even registration number on the road one day, and then those with odd are allowed to drive the next day. Public transport is also being made free in those days as a way of compensating.

A Model X was placed in a large bubble contaminated with extreme levels of pollution (1,000 µg/m3 of PM2.5 vs. the EPA’s “good” air quality index limit of 12 µg/m3). Then the team closed the falcon doors and activated Bioweapon Defense Mode. Photo Credit; Tesla.com/blog


Here’s what happened after The BioWeapon Defense Mode was activated.

Tesla is one company that takes this problem very seriously and as well as continuing to produce eco-friendly electric cars, the company also now fits a HEPA air filter system into its vehicles which will block out any gaseous pollutants from getting inside. This is a system like no other as it acts as ‘bioweapon defense mode,’ stopping any harmful viruses, bacteria, mold spores, or pollen from getting in.  Although it’s a feature that’s been included in Tesla vehicles for some time now, the company has only really promoted it in China where the air pollution issue is much worse.

The filter in question is around ten times bigger than a normal car filter and around 100 times more effective. On top of that, it will also remove more than 99 percent of gaseous pollutants, mold spores, pollen, or bacteria. However, there is one downside – the fancy system comes at a price. To get the HEPA air filter, you would need to purchase the Premium Upgrades Package for $3,500. But, on the plus side, you also get leather trims, ventilated front seats, power liftgate, and leds.


According to the WHO, average annual PM2.5 levels (the most dangerous form of pollution) reach 56 *µg/m3 in Beijing, 25 µg/m3 in Mexico City, 21 µg/m3 in Hong Kong, 20 µg/m3 in Los Angeles, 20 µg/m3 in Berlin, 17 µg/m3 in Paris, and 16 µg/m3 in London.
