Where are ppl buying Cabin Air Filters?

[hingisfan]

Hey guys,
I've been meaning to replace my cabin air filter (I don't do Tesla recommended service, yet anyway).
Is there a 3rd party source for these? Are they better quality/price?
Does Tesla Service sell them to me as a part? Price?
Is there a Youtube video or step by step on how to do this?
Thanks guys!

A Tesla service center will sell you one for ten or fifteen dollars. Unless, of course, you have bioweapon defense.

How often do you have to replace them?

I havent yet after almost 2 years, so I think I'm long overdue.... Guessing it should be every 6 or 12 months. Not much risk except a duster interior I don't think.

Sometimes you can used compressed air to blow the dust off or just vacuum the filter if it is not completely covered with dust and dirt.

Does anyone have a video showing how to replace them?

This is the simple procedure, at least for a Classic Model S.

You'll want to replace it when your cabin starts smelling exhaust while behind ICE vehicles / in tunnels

10-20 bucks at your local SC. Changing it for your self is easy peasy

I just picked a filter fron Tyson Corner Virgina SC for $8.25

I assume the Bioweapon filters are more costly?

Is there a better filter than Tesla brand?

Is there a better filter than Tesla brand?

Not really. Tesla has a policy of not using their service centers as a profit center. They provide very high quality, and well tested filters that are designed for the car at super reasonable prices.

Believer the purpose of the service centers is to provide needed service and services for their customers to keep their vehicles in good running condition.

Pretty rare in the automotive industry.

Tesla...it drives like no other.

We have them at NAPA.

My HEPA filter at home needs to be replaced every 3-5 months; my wife can smell when it stops working
When I remove it, its normally dirty.
i.e. I guess it depends on how much usage/miles and how dirty the air is.

Does NAPA have them for a Model3. The dimensions are: 5.5 x 9.5 x 1.25
My nearest service center is four hours away.

Just call any service center and they will ship parts to you. They just need your vin number to make sure you get the correct parts.

NAPA's site says they have them, but they are the wrong dimensions. Currently there is no aftermarket option, but the Model S filter is nearly the same, only the width is greater by about 5/8". I may pick up 2 of them and modify to fit. I can't get Tesla to respond to me about ordering from a service center and my local one is out of stock.
