I’ve had the smell happen in my daughters Ford Focus. Changed the air cabin filter and sprayed an air system cleaner down the vents and it went away. Lots of complaining about it on the Focus forums, so it’s not limited to Tesla. For the Focus, the recommendation is to turn off air conditioner about 5 minutes before returning home and just let it blow air through the system.
Luckily, I havent had it with my Tesla. I did just change the filters pre-emptively, since I had the car for over a year now. Cheap to replace- you can buy the filters for less than $20 on amazon.
Unfortunately, I did mess up the speaker connector when disconnecting it, but I ordered a new connector and also a thumb screw replacement for the Torx screw. Next time, I think I can do the filter change without having to disconnect the speaker wire.
