For anyone that has had their AC desiccant bag replaced, was there any strange smell afterwards coming from the AC? If so, how long did it last? I had it replaced about two weeks ago and when I first got the car, I noticed some sort of chemical smell coming from the AC that dissipated after running for a few mins. Didn’t really notice it after that but these past couple days I’m noticing it again although it almost smells a bit more musky. Never had any type of odor prior to it being replaced and the cabin filter was replaced about three months ago.

I just got my desiccant bag replaced. It had a different (not necessary bad) smell for around 20 secs and then it disappeared.
Thanks for the replies. I had my front windshield tinted the other day and I just remembered they use quite a bit of water in the process. I'm wondering if some got down the front vents and that's what is causing the smell. I've been running the A/C on high to and from work hoping it will dry out. When the desiccant bag was replaced, I did have a strong smell for a couple mins like @bktiger86 but it went away fairly quick. If the smell persist, does anyone know if the Tesla dealer or anyone is able to clean out the vents?
