@Brandon332 I just had my 2 year service completed under the three year contract. The Invoice states "the HEPA" is changed at the 3rd year at additional cost". I will wait to third year to understand, but I don't recall that being stated in the original purchase. Will go look. At any rate, it is good to know there is an after-market alternative.

- Checked firmware version: Updated to latest version 8.1

Don’t do ebay. I got Tesla service to give me a real Tesla HEPA with installation for a little
Over $200. Why put in an inferior filter and risk damaging your car during installation?? Have them do it!

Call manager and point out kindly that other SCs are doing. Show them the part number in this thread. Bring them donuts. Write great reviews of their service. And I promise they’ll do it. If not call a different SC and don’t ask if they do it. Tell them you’re calling to have it done. Don’t give them an option to say no.
try calling parts department and ask just for the part. The install is actually quite easy, surprised me with how easy it was.
Try filterbuy.com and get a custom made filter. It will be cheaper than ebay as well.

I was asking myself Model 3 Owners Club tweeed about this. Then I realized you ARE M3OC!
Yeah get the original part from Tesla. And if you’re nice they’ll install it. Given how much you’re promoting their brand for free, I’m certain they’ll do it for you. Not much difference between OEM and the eBay ones (when they were available).

I’ll ask them at my service visit this week if I can buy it directly. I don’t mind installing it myself, gives me an excuse for some video content 
Just tell them you need the part, it cost $175 usd roughly. They will need your vin
BTW Trevor, thank you for the video on the dash camera. I wouldn't have gotten my camera in without your help

You’re welcome
I contacted Tesla and they want $266 CAD + tax so $300 all in
I can tell you the hepa filter is simple compare to the dash cam. Make sure you mark the gasket, I didn’t do a good job and it kinked up a few weeks later
