Elon Musk Considers Tesla Making An HVAC To Advertise Car Air Purification Systems


- The Tesla Model S has one of the best HVAC systems in the industry
- Tesla has dabbled with the idea of commercialising the technology
- The idea is to use the IP for an advanced home HVAC system
Elon Musk often does weird things and the latest one is him considering making a Tesla-branded HVAC system leveraging the work Tesla has done to develop one for its cars. He also believes the system is so good that it could act as an advertisement for the system that Tesla has implemented in its cars which breaks his no-ad rule.
Tesla was one of the first car manufacturers to improve the air quality inside the car. It was one of the first to implement a HEPA filter into the HVAC system of its higher-end electric cars. Tesla claims the system can theoretically remove 99.97 per cent of the dust, pollen, mould, bacteria and airborne particles which are of the size of 0.3 microns. All these things, the Tesla HVAC systems handle very well.

Tesla recently launched the new Model S Plaid which is the fastest production car in the world
While talking up the HVAC system on the new Model S and also talking about an update that's inbound for the HVAC system which makes it more silent Musk also talked about how it could be scaled up for home use.
"Oh man, home HVAC that is super energy efficient, quiet & purifies the air would be great. We developed it for the car, but it can be scaled up for home use," said the billionaire.
This is not the first time Musk has talked up the HVAC. He once claimed it was 10 times better than one on any other non-Tesla car. "Most people have no idea just how good the Tesla air purification system is. Literally, 10X better than any other car. Maybe we should advertise informationally just so people know stuff like this exists," he said a while ago.
