OEM Model 3 Air Filter
Recommended every 2 years in the Model 3, I'm not sure about Y as there is a different set up, but it'll be in the manual.

I had Tesla change my Model 3 cabin air filters after the first year, then again two years later. Each time the old filters were just nasty. Both times Tesla’s mobile service did the job at my home, US$70 the first time, US$64 the second time. Took 12 minutes each time.
I considered buying the filters from Tesla for US$34 and doing it myself, but for the extra US$30 or so I’ll save the contortionist activities on my non-athletic body. Also, if they can, they’ll apply any service bulletins at the same time as well as test tyre tread depth and set all tyre pressures. Well worth the cost to me.

Why would you need Tesla to fit them? It’s incredibly easy to do, Tesla even give step by step instructions on the air filter product page.
Note LHD and RHD are different - the Tesla animation will take you so far. This video from Cleverly EV is pretty handy. Appreciate not everyone will have the confidence, tools, time or inclination.
Changed pollen filters today on RHD
I changed the pollen filters today after two years. It’s a simple job if you have worked on cars before. The filters were quite dirty to be honest. I used this guide (below)

Much harder on a RHD car, it's doable but it was a good 30 minutes of upside down under the drivers dashboard to do it. I guess it will be easier next time. You also need all the right sized tools. I can totally see why people get Tesla to do it at the same time that the brake callipers need lubricating and brake fluid checking. Entirely reasonable.

Yeeessss. Very good. No issues with the air flow.
That video is for the pre 2020 M3, refresh (heat pump) models are now much easier apparently, this thread talks about it:Note LHD and RHD are different - the Tesla animation will take you so far.

Tesla Has Redesigned Model 3 Air Filter Cover to Make Replacement Easier
I just did my first air filter change in my Model 3. I had watched several videos about how hard it was to unscrew the air filter cover, so I was prepared for a fight. But my September 2021 Model 3 SR+ has a redesigned air filter cover, with the screw at the bottom of the cover and the tab at...
