I noticed this also, but I do not have refreshed model S. After all the forest fire smoke around these parts for pretty much the entire month of August, I would consider paying the money to upgrade, but have not investigated the modifications necessary to incorporate the newer cabin filter airbox to the older model. I am aware that some have just got a hepa filter and installed that in the older model.

I got new tires this week and inquired about the newly available bioweapon mode upgrade. It is only available for refresh S and X (3 is too small). Cincinnati SC was not sure about the price yet, but said if Elon tweeted $500 then that's probably what the charge would be. They also said that a replacement air filter is about $250, so keep that in mind for future service interval replacements.
@dark cloud , one advantage to having the Tesla SC perform the upgrade is that you get the software updated to include the official bioweapon mode / button.

Out of curiosity how many miles on your tires? Got about 33k 90% AP highway miles

@Xd85 I just crossed 40k miles on the car. Only 2 of the wheels were original (rears). The front two were an off brand that I had to put on at about 20k due to a catastrophic bolt / flat tire in Indiana. Tesla does not have any road side assistance or tire change program in Indiana and I was essentially in the middle of nowhere. So I had to take what the shop had and drove until now with the new ones on the front and originals on the rear. I'm happy to have all 4 matching new tires now (the off brand ones slipped all the time on a hard accel). So the short answer is 40k miles, but I suspect if I had kept the original 4 the whole time with rotations I probably would have had to replace them at about 35k miles (since front tires wear more).
Which service center did you choose for the package destination and install? I'm wondering if it's because they are backed up with orders and annual service appointment's.
I chose Buena Park, CA.

If you feel something Is wrong contact your service center.
Note: it normally takes a few minutes to work so you should turn it on before you enter that area.
