Thanks.

Keep tweeting Elon about it. I'm hoping it will be offered if it's possible. Early adopters of the Y shouldn't be left out to suffer, lolI could use the retro. Lots of big fires in Norcal and AQI in the Bay Area has been awful the past week and doesn't look like it'll be getting better anytime soon.
I think the issue is they have to subtract the frunk to fit it. That the Y currently has space, but the 3 is too compact that it requires a rework of components. And I wonder even if they could make size if the current filter is in a space that could be retrofitted.I really hope they do this with the 3 also. If they can fit it in the Y they can fit it in the 3. The frunk size isn’t *that* different.
The Model 3 frunk was changed last year for no real reason?I think the issue is they have to subtract the frunk to fit it.

And I wonder even if they could make size if the current filter is in a space that could be retrofitted.
Really hope they make it work for the future though. It's one of those killer features that really separates the Teslas from other vehicles.
Oh I didn't notice that it's there! I can't believe it has been right in front of me since I took delivery 5 days ago1) Look at the photo in the very first post on this thread. Note the "bio" icon to the right of "schedule."
Took delivery three weeks ago of a MYLR Cali build. I have BDM.Resurrecting this thread! I'd appreciate input from people who have recently taken delivery of Model Ys from Fremont and Austin.
- Reading through this, I see several people got their Model Ys with the HEPA filters for Biodefense Mode. Super! However, I'm wondering if all the US produced Model Ys are coming with this now (a year later) because:
- Tesla's do it yourself page only shows the old (smaller non-HEPA) filter location and replacement process in this video: Do It Yourself - Model Y
- Tesla's shop only shows the old filters: Model 3/Y Air Filter
- I can't readily find any US owner videos (not for the MIC Model Ys) showing the filter replacement.
Maybe Tesla is just really behind with their online content and replacement filters???
