I originally thought the bioweapon mode was a gimmick. Now that I think about China, India, and the air quality common there I feel that Tesla really is onto something very clever here.

They really are, commerical diesel vehicles just got banned in Delhi by the supreme court. The situation is favorable to Tesla. An affordable electric vehicle could be an instant hit. Even in other cities there has been a drastic reduction in air quality with a booming middle class and the number of cars increasing. (In my city it increased to 1.5 times in a year!!).

I am not holding my breath for Tesla to make an appearance here (with an affordable to middle class) offering but it would be awesome if they did.
