The Model 3 and Model Y both lack the bioweapon defense mode. There are aftermarket Model 3 HEPA replacement air filters which were used by Californians to good effect during last years fires to mitigate the effects of smoke and air pollutants, and which might help filter viruses during the COVID-19 pandemic. If the Model Y uses the same filter as M3, one could replace the stock MY filter with the aftermarket HEPA filter. Has any new Model Y owner compared filter size vs M3 filter yet to see if that’s possible?

Have not seen any aftermarket Model 3 fiters that were true HEPA. Saw nothing that would come close to filtering out tiny virus.
Most have concluded that the factory filters are as good as any of the aftermarket, fit great and are much less expensive.
Only S and X have true HEPA capability. They are the ones that can filter out diesel smells and smoke. Only Tesla that offer BioWeapon Defense Mode.
Under recirculation mode, the factory Model 3 filters do a pretty good job of cleaning the air inside in just a few minutes. No guarantee of virus removal, but it can remove the particles the virus often inhabit.
