It seems that changing the cabin filter helps a little but the problem is actually in the hepa filter. A new cabin filter just masks it for a little while.Changed Cabin air filter, still smells but not as much....
Want me to try to get you the part?My Alpharetta service center said they had the old B part in stock so I told Ty em not to install the same old part. Picking my car back up without any change!
Thanks for the offer. I may yet hit you up for it, but I really want the service center to install the entire new assembly. I have to give them the exact part to install for my next dec 27 appointment.Want me to try to get you the part?
It's definitely the hepa filter. It's a terrible smell and it started about 3 months after purchasing the car and progressively got worse to the point where I was going to sell the car if it could not be resolved. Tesla did an evaporator clean service along with a new cabin filter and that did not work at all. Not even the slightest improvement.Changed Cabin air filter, still smells but not as much....

Thanks to the forum, I pulled the Hepa out yesterday. At first I smelled it and there was no smell. Then I sprayed it with water and still no smell. At that point I was concerned that it might not be the Hepa. I kept it out and put in a modified 14x20x1 std air filter and drove the car yesterday in the rain, etc. I let my car sit outside all day and when I got back in, there was NO SMELL! Hallelujah !!!!
Any day any humidity was present (daily here during the summer months), the smell was present and during rainy days...forget it....unbearable!!! Yesterday was the true test and removing the Hepa was the answer!!!
Whether or not the new modified hepa design will keep the smell away has yet to be answered. But, removing it definitely did for me!!!
So far so good and zero smell. We've had a number of rainy days here in NJ since I did this so it was definitely the hepa for me.I will have to try this!
how did you modify the 14x20 filter? What did you need to do?I kept it out and put in a modified 14x20x1 std air filter and drove the car yesterday in the rain, etc.
Nice! Is the part just the cover and filter or the entire assembly (ie what the filter sits in)Mobile Service just delivered the HEPA assembly to me today (P/N 1750575-00-C). Definitely some changes to the cover door, especially to the drainage ports. You can see the new one has a wider drain "mouth" if you will at the top, and the drain at the bottom slants completely to one side, rather than the peaked design in the older door.
Fingers crossed, this does it!

one part connects to the firewall (No change in part number)Nice! Is the part just the cover and filter or the entire assembly (ie what the filter sits in)
Mine was apparently ordered as P/N 1750575-00-C and came as the entire assembly (front and rear of enclosure and the filter). I kept the original rear of the enclosure in the car since it was the hardest to replace and was the same as the new one.Nice!

All three have different part numbers.

I’m an idiot too for snapping off a latch as well . Mine is held by a bungee cordThe part is the entire assembly. Filter,
Housing and Cover. Changing the filter and cover are easy. Housing … not so much.
Unfortunately my hamfist snapped one of the latches off the housing. I’m an idiot. So I have the cover taped on with gaffer’s tape but may eventually have to replace the entire enchilada. Thankfully, I have it…. Just a bear of a job to do it.

It most certainly should! The impart does not even show up in the epc siteI have a 2020 model 3 with same issue and I have to clean the coils every 6 months. I really didn't want to have to deal with this on the 2023 model s I just ordered... please let us know if this fixes the problem? I'm thinking of cancelling my order and getting a used 2020 model s now. I'm going to ask if my new car will have the updated part.
