HEPA filter in Tesla Model 3?
- Thread starter Lox24

It's not HEPA but apparently better than stock. Australia made and $59 delivered.

I installed the one from Abstract Ocean and can tell a difference driving in city traffic with diesel cars in front of me. It’s made from a 3M Hepa filter but is nowhere near the thickness or size of the Model S or X biodefense HEPA filters. Best we can do though!
HEPA Cabin Air Filters for Model 3 (sold as a pair)
“Made as a perfect replacement for the factory filters (p/n 1107681-00-A), these add 3M HEPA filter media and activated carbon to keep the air inside your Model 3 beautifully clean.”

Also keep in mind the S/X have a positive cabin pressure system in addition the the huge HEPA filter. The positive pressure system is what really sets the S/X apart from anything else which of course the 3 can never achieve with a filter replacement. The size of the filter on the S/X is directly related to this as 100% of the new air must be pulled in through the filter. Without this system, that size filter would make no sense.
Still an upgraded filter would be better, but just like any other car.

Default protection.

Just using the stock filters on the Model 3, this is what the air quality looks like outside and inside today (400+ AQI, Melbourne):
PM2.5 of 21 inside and PM2.5 of 222 outside. My house is about 150.
Overall, very impressive.
I have a HEPA filter on the way and I'll install it and compare. Suspect it will get a lot of use.

@Lox24 thanks for that, great evidence. Can you please confirm that is with recirculating air TURNED OFF?

You should do the test with re-circulation turned off to see how effective the filter is for single pass.
Its Dan Andrews. Melburnians are generally dirty about being locked up in 2020. Its made the air toxic.
That post was from January last year, back when the whole south-eastern part of the country was on fire. The air was so dirty because of bushfire smoke.
I tried these HEPA on Amazon by Xtechnor - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085HX67ZX/
I used Kool-it 2 cans and got rid of the musty smell i had with the OEM ones.
while the Xtechnor fit well, they smelled too much like charcoal, so I just switched it back today to the official tesla filters and the charcoal smell is gone. Perhaps the Teslarati ones in the first video above are better quality but I went with amazon since they were cheaper at $39 and appeared to be the same as the $99 teslarati ones. Are the Teslarati ones good smelling (i.e. no charcoal?)

not sure what the difference between these hepa filters are. they look all the same to me whether from china or from somewhere else.
i got mine from aliexpress for like 30 bucks and they dont smell. i dont think they make that much difference to odors getting inside the cabin though there probably is a slight improvement. i did add another (light) intake filter and together this did make quite a bit of a difference re: occasional exhaust smell when the car vents from the outside.
