One of the most surprising features of Tesla's crazy-expensive, crazy-fast electric SUV, the Model X, was its bio****** defense mode — an air filter so powerful it can save you from a biological attack.

The test was simple: a Model X was placed in a sealed plastic bubble, which was contaminated with what Tesla calls extreme levels of pollution or*1,000 µg/m3 of PM2.5. That's a very large concentration of tiny particles, 2.5 micrometers in diameter, which are particularly dangerous for human health. For comparison, WHO lists average annual PM2.5 levels at*16 µg/m3 in London and*56 µg/m3 in Beijing. Read more...
