Tesla model 3 air filter replacement


Here are the key points for replacing the cabin air filter in a Tesla Model 3:

- Tesla recommends replacing the cabin air filters every 2 years to prevent pollen, dust and other particles from entering the cabin[9][10].
- The cabin air filters are located behind the glove box on the passenger side. You need to remove the floor mat, trim pieces, and access panel to access the filters[11].
- Two cabin air filters are required for replacement. Tesla sells them individually for $17 each on their shop website[9].
- Aftermarket cabin air filter kits are also available from various sellers on sites like Amazon, eBay and Mercari. Prices range from $8.99 to $49.99 for a 2-pack[1][2][3][4][5][6][8][12].
- The filters have a pull tab to make removal and installation easier. The airflow direction is marked on the filter[11].
- Cabin air filters should be replaced every 8-12 months or 12,000-15,000 miles, especially in dusty or humid environments[12].

To replace the cabin air filters in a Tesla Model 3:

1. Remove the floor mat, trim pieces and access panel to access the filters behind the glove box
2. Pull out the old filters using the tabs
3. Insert the new filters with the airflow direction pointing towards the front of the car
4. Reinstall the access panel, trim pieces and floor mat

Replacing the cabin air filters regularly will help maintain good air quality inside your Tesla Model 3.
