HEPA Filter Kits

[Mr. Decaf]

Has anyone tried the HEPA filter kits? Do they work well? Are replacement filters readily available and easy to change?

Since many of the components are shared with Model 3, you can probably use this video as reference:

Really not worth it in a 3/Y

And let’s not overlook that the video linked above is really just a paid advertisement.

Thank you. Yes, I have watched some of the videos. I am interested in people’s actual experience. It is important to me, because of my wife’s asthma.

Thank you for sharing. This is one of the better reviews. His use of the air quality monitor was interesting. It would be interesting to try the air quality monitor a model S or X under the same conditions.

It’s not likely to help. It just does not make that much of a difference. But each person has their own level of sensitivity so the only way to know for sure is to try it out.

No one is going to be able to answer this for you.

As a test today using the stock air filter with the air outside at 202 2.5ppm with the y in recirculate mode and the fan kicked up I dropped the inside from 200 to 16 2.5ppm in about 7 mins.

I usually enjoy Tesla Raj's videos but that filter one was pointless. He did his experiment in a fresh, open, clean air environment so the air was already clean to begin with. Couldn't he have found a busy parking garage or somewhere more enclosed with heavy traffic?

You’d lose a considerable amount of airflow since the blower would have to work harder to push it through the more restrictive HEPA filter right?

That sounds really good with just the stock filter. Thank you.

Yes, that would be a worry, and it sounds like the stock filters do a pretty good job. Thanks.
