According to Tesla, its air conditioning system is able to protect the car’s occupants from a military-grade bio attack and is more than adequate to fight real-world conditions in polluted cities.

 

blogentry-133713-0-12019500-1462416750_thumb.jpgTo show that its claims are real, they have conducted tests in a large bubble contaminated with extreme levels of pollution - 83 times over EPA’s good" air quality index limit of 12 µg/m3. After closing the doors for more than two minutes, the HEPA filtration system reduced the hazardous 1,000 µg/m3 polluted air to undetectable levels. This allowed the technicians to remove their gas masks to breathe the clean air inside the car. Furthermore, the system began vacuuming the air outside the car as well, reducing PM2.5’s levels by 40 percent.

Filtering not only the Air in the car but also outside of the car.

 

Helps filters aren't cheap.

 

My heap filter replacement alone cost me $500 plus.

 

It also means that the car is not as Air tight as compared to other cars

care to explain why you would say its isn't as air tight as other cars?

The car air filter was able to clear 40% of outside "polutant" inside the bubble.

 

Some cars like Lexus, BMW are more air tight.

 

If car filter can easily clean 40% of outside polutant, it also stands to reasoning that dirty air from outside can easily get into the car.

"Furthermore, the system began vacuuming the air outside the car as well, reducing PM2.5’s levels by 40 percent."

 

Perhaps the air-conditioning system was put to circulation mode?

Very good point. Thank you. Why I did not think of thar?

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
