@@mrpoohbearlvr it would filter Covid and SARS along with other common cold viruses. It's basically a N95~N99 HEPA filter and other than some really small viruses it should filter out the other larger viruses and bacteria. And, no it won't filter out nerve gases, gaseous molecules are far smaller than that size, but it will filter out most pollutants around 2.5micron ~ or larger sizes. Bio Defense does mean Bio Defense as it's protecting from most bio hazards..nerve gas doesn't belong to that category. And Yes, it's an expensive air filter and some other cars have it too, Tesla just decided to call it bio defense mode(because it's true).

Just a handful of years ago, 2s 0-60 & low 9s 1/4mj was unthinkable for a true (>1000 units IMO) production car-let alone a family LSS, and let alone an EV. Similar arguments about the limitations of grip were up in the air at that time…. But Musk made it happen anyway, and they’ve been produced by the tens of thousands with people launching off stops on the daily… This is real, daily life for thousands of people-something once thought preposterous. And FWIW, Pininfarina just accomplished a 1.79s 0-60 with their newest hyperEV. What’s another .29s off that? If anyone can do it, Tesla can… There’s no doubt in my mind that we will see a roadster with those feats, in the near future. Hell, the plaid could probably do it already, with the current tri-motor architecture stuffed into a roadster body & losing a thousand pounds or so. Beyond that, I see your point…. Physics cannot be undone, and there will be a (more or less) safe limit at which any production road will be unable to surpass, no matter how well-engineered. Is the limit 1.25? 1s? .75s? Idk, but it’s going to be exciting to find out. And IMHO I don’t think the roadster’s 1.5 is/will be it. But anyway, for god’s sake, give the man some credit for accomplishing the insane achievement that is MSP… I know there’s a lot of anti Musk hate and propaganda going around about him these days.

[@colin-nekritz]

Another review of this who’s video drops this week actually called it painful. Overall he was far less kind than Doug but he takes nothing away from the sheer sensation, which he called “painful, like astronaut testing painful” that the Plaid can do and hat tips to Tesla’s engineers. They get a lot of shit wrong but acceleration ability is not one of them. He said he felt his eyeballs squeezing back in their sockets and he’s driven Hellcats etc. To Doug’s point a lot of kids if millionaires borrowing Daddy’s car will be killing themselves, hope they don’t take out innocent people as well.

A few corrections you might be interested in: - The cover over the storage compartment in the console does cover the whole thing. You just have to push on it again when it's at the half-way point and it'll go the rest of the way. - That "atomic button" is for Bioweapon Defense Mode. It leverages the car's HEPA filtration system to create positive pressure in the cabin relative to the outside. It's been great for those driving near the West Coast's wildfires recently. It was introduced in Model X when in launched in 2015 and added to Model S in 2016. - Sentry Mode runs the eight exterior cameras whenever it's on - not just when some sort of impact occurs. It actually uses AI to determine if someone is walking too closely to the car, peering into it, etc., and it'll warn the potential intruder accordingly. Tesla owners can review footage on the touchscreen from any time the cameras detect something. - You introduced the key fob that Model S has had since it launched in 2012 as the primary key. It's important to note that the new S and X also have "Phone Key" - same as what you're used to in 3 and Y. If you don't want to carry a fob, you don't have to, and you still don't have to reach for anything in your purse/pocket. Great review as always. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Does it use a filtered air module to create positive pressure in the cabin?
