Thanks for the fun videos. I've been watching them. Getting rid of a fruit smell is nice, but VOCs, ozone and PM 2.5 are the serious health risks. I know a combination of HEPA filters with charcoal canister filters are the state of the art, if implemented well. They can effectively filter key air pollutants: VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and PM (particulate matter). I am assuming the new Tesla filters do this well, but there are no independent test data. The reason I'd like to know is the experience with the ionizers they installed for a while. I believe they emitted ozone as a side effect, and that ozone was introduced into the passenger compartment, which created health problems for some. I give Tesla a good amount of credit. Instead of replying to me, maybe they just phased out that ionizer in response to such queries.
Now I'm asking if there is anyone who knows with confidence whether the new system uses any kind of electrostatic feature, which many companies have in the past used to attract dust/improve particulate filtering, but which could put the new system also at risk of introducing ozone into the passenger compartment. Pure air flow filtering (with no electrostatic charge or similar feature) first through HEPA filters and then through charcoal canisters (often followed by a final filter just to catch any charcoal dust) is the the way to go. It looks like/sounds like that is what Tesla is doing, but I wonder if anyone knows for sure.
