I did this same thing, they got my headlights in, went in for service and they FORGOT to fix the headlights, then were told by a bulletin NOT to retrofit. so...

I purchased my Model S 75 in September, right when they started bundling options all together. Well my car was supposed to come with Adaptive Headlights... it does not have them. When I called Tesla back in October they admitted their wrongdoing and promised to replace them, however its been 4...

NICE, thanks for this you should post this in model X forum to let them know how easy upgrade is

Sold sorry

So its been a while since I've upgraded and I'm back for an update. Glad this thread has been so helpful to everyone who's made the change be it just the Merv 13, or to the true HEPA from Tesla. Thanks for all the shout outs and thanks, I haven't had time to do the HEPA video as I'm lazy and I'm...

Ya unless you live in the north and can take advantage of the cold weather pack, a marginal stereo improvement (people have done sit in tests and it's hard to tell if it's better) and a bioweapon filter you can buy for 150 or so, it doesn't really make sense... I was able to get my service...

if you go the $25 route, you can buy a roll of carbon pre-filter and put it in front for like $15 that will neutralize any odors. Since the MERV 13 restricts less air then a true "HEPA" filter, it should work fine. https://www.walmart.com/ip/2-X-Cut-to-Fit-Carbon-Pad-for-Air-Purifiers-2/585857972

Do you have a model X? Only x has the "conversion kit" if you don't have X you may need to change your order to the S

I have ordered the stock filter, I'll document putting it in, I wanted it as it's much better/ more heavy duty then the ones you can get from the filter places, although it is MUCH more expensive, you can add MERV 13 filter for $25 bucks shipped and that will do a great job (I've only smelled...

@ChrisPDX Can you measure how deep the filter is, I put in a 1 inch but yours from Tesla looks more like 2 inches maybe

Thanks, I'm replacing it with an actual filter this week, I had to do it quickly because we have a lot of smoke from forest fires, so I couldn't wait for the correctly sized one and had to "Hack" one together. I can confirm there is no way the (Recirculated) air can go thru the HEPA filter...

LOL, I think anyone who's taken delivery knows exactly what you mean, also welcome :D

Wow that filter is much more intense then the standard one I have added in mine, can you provide close up pictures of the edges of the seal for us, it may actually be worth it to get that filter, the one I have def works, but that seems on a whole new level!

Also just a heads up to people looking to try this, I did notice looking at pics that the Frunk in the older (but still facelift) Model S looks larger then mine, you must have one of the Facelift Tesla that looks like the one in my video with the very small frunk, confirm your plastic is the...

I think they mean that when they turns it on, VOC's get expelled from the car via positive pressurization and ongoing positive pressure due to outside filtered air entering the vehicle. Tear it apart, I am willing to bet it is, unless they didn't standardize the frunk sizes like they did with...

Anytime, I have another Hunch I'm going to check out this weekend... if I'm right, you'll be hearing about it.

What is "PUP" ? I can tear apart my glove-box to get to the filter and look to make sure.

I doubt they would, I have a connect at Tesla and he said it won't fly, I haven't actually asked yet tho. Tesla says filter is good for 1 year.

Ya, I don't know if the Tesla filter is worth the $123 premium to go from MERV-13 to MERV17, @Eierardo can you post a picture of your filter when you get it, and also the shipping time to get it?

No I haven't , I doubt they would, gotta try to hack it maybe XD.

About 1 hour I don't know, I don't think bioweapon was an option, but you should have enough room in your larger frunk to "Custom" rig some ducting/filter situation, I'd love to see a good try (use duct tape and cardboard to mock up)

In addition to the normal cabin filter, the cabin filter is behind the glovebox

Ya all bioweapon "Button" does is boost the fan for 2-3 seconds to create positive pressure then use a normal fan setting, without that button the filter still works as normal, make sure air is set to outside -> cabin flow so it goes thru the filter, then set it to 11 fan speed and it will do...

Thank you, and just to clarify I am not selling anything, I'm not affiliated with that link, its just one of the only places found that sells custom sized filters in a high filtration level

It adds the FILTER not the mode, all the mode does is boost the fan for a second or 2 thats IT.

That's the model X one, not the Model S, model S is 14X27.5X1

So I had a hunch because the frunks were the same size even if you didn't order bio-weapon, that Tesla to save production costs put in the Bio-Weapon filtration system in, but just didn't add a filter, I was right. Youtube comment gave a great place to buy the actual filter in the correct...

You may not have them installed on your car, Tesla didnt install them on several cars that were supposed to have them, see image you should have 1 2 and 3 on your car http://i.imgur.com/7hinbuj.jpg. also see this post Adaptive headlights • r/teslamotors
