Definitely gonna do this. I do wonder if my 7 seater config with the 3rd row seats would be an issue. Doesn’t appear so from photos but I guess I will find out later. Haha

Here is a better photo as well of where to bolt on the filter. One m6 each side and done. Insure the HEPA opening sits tight and seals with the air duct before bolting the thing on. There is a white rubber gasket around the bottom opening of the HEPA where it connects to the new air duct...

First thing, for an April 2021 build that has existing threaded inserts and guide holes you would want to use M6 bolt sizing that are also 40mm in length. An M5 sizing rivet nut was used for a different 2020 build that did not have existing threaded inserts or extra holes for the guides that...

Good thing is I don’t think those clips are too important with all the white cone clips on the Apron/cowl. They are also used on the frunk tub and the part number for that clip I think is on the frunk diagram in the EPC if you did want to replace.

I think you’ll be fine and set when the parts arrive. This was my part number when I ordered and the $10 dollar pricing is what I paid. I posted a screen of my invoice somewhere in this thread.

Regarding your story, it is funny how it has to work out with these kind of situations sometimes. Go figure. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm definitely not paying $500 bucks for a button that turns my fan on to max and turns off recirculate if that ends up being true. haha

I would probably try to cancel out of that service request at this point and do another one at a later time hopefully getting a different rep or selecting a different center if possible. My experience: I didn't even put the description in for the parts when I ordered. I just put in the SKU...

The diagram for the BDM Y AC setup still indicates that it has the two cabin filters and the Model S and X have recommended cabin filter change outs in 3 years or something along that line and it is 2 years without BDM. I would guess the cabin filters are still necessary to catch whatever could...

I can definitely understand your decision not to do this. Thank you for providing the build date. I wonder if this was permanently rolled out in manufacturing sometime early into 2021. I guess without enough data points it’s hard to tell currently. Also curious if Tesla didn’t already offer...

Nice work! Definitely worth it.

I haven’t done this yet myself but looking into it I came to the same conclusion that it’s the upper C trim pieces that needs to be replaced. They are listed on the parts list but do not appear to be drawn visually on the epc diagram.

Happy to share the experience to help others retrofit the filter. Yes, with the manual and all the information provided this is a relatively safe and easy install. I want to add that the small black plastic side clips attached on the fenders for the apron/cowl and frunk could break easily. Be...

Awesome and very helpful tips on install. I agree, this is a fantastic deal.

Yeah, I’d imagine there should be space under to do that but definitely let us know how it goes.

That’s unexpected but a really good point considering how they are making these cars. I have a March 2021 build Y and I had the attachment points all there as if the car was always suppose to have the filter. For anyone looking into installing this, please lift the cowl up and look to insure...

Update and extra information. I’ve attached the photo of the serial of my original open air duct. This is NOT and I repeat NOT the one to purchase but it helps rule out one of the listed SKUs on EPC for those concerned. I have been using the AC with the giant new HEPA filter for a while now...

This is the best I can do unfortunately. Thankfully I had some sort of photo and the code is etched on top. I cannot get a new clearer photo of this since that area of the duct is below and blocked by the filter now. It does look like it’s also “00”.

It’s weird, I had to cross check my invoice and the EPC since you mentioned that. When I ordered, I selected from the HEPA Diagram and those were the right codes at the time and it even says it on my final invoice. But you are right, it shows that the code I listed is for the old one...

Just use the service appointment option and just select other and ask to order the parts for pickup at a service center. The 3 parts: REAR APRON 1619812-00-B $26 DUCT 1499137-00-C $10 HEPA Filter 1495167-00-B $70

I went ahead and did this retrofit on my 2021 MY. Looking at the manual and parts catalog the fan motor is the exact same with no revisions and the 3 extra parts are completely passive with no wiring. Ordered the revised cowl, HEPA filter and air duct through the Tesla app for pick up at the...

I suspect this place will not look this empty after it appears on the charging map database. Comes up on invoice as E Glenarm St.
