Good job. More detail than some other videos on model y air filter change. I didn't unplug speakers and light as there was enough slack in wiring. That's a definite possible area when a newbie could miss up. Took me 15 minutes to open up the innards. then I didn't know which area housed the filter until I saw your video. 2nd time took only 5 minutes to pop panels off

I saw one Model 3 owner take the inside of the frunk out to show the a/c drain only drains out onto the floor of the frunk so water sits there and molds I guess. They suggested not use recycle air on a/c as much because that creates more condensation with it on.

Hi Chris, just changed filters out today following this video and it went great! Funnily enough, I had way more problems removing the push pins from under the dash than removing the side panel. Thanks again for the great video! Now my car is smelling fresh again! 👍🏾

Hi Chris, thanks for making this video. Super helpful! Going to change mine in the next few days. How do you like the aftermarket HEPA filter after one year of replacement? Do you have any experience replacing the wiper blades as well? PS i have the same batch of model Y as yours and I am in Canada 😊

@EverydayChris Жыл бұрын

Love it. It turned black after a year hhaa. It does reduce the air flow slightly. I think we have to change them more often because it filters so much more debri

@ElmoBHD 2 күн бұрын

Therebis a video on Tesla's websites that shows you how to. Its easy, really easy.

@KhoiBoa Ай бұрын

My car smell was soooo bad after 1.5 years. Old filter seem still new. I replace filter and did the foam thing. Foam is what get rid of smell. Took me 40 minutes. Didn’t have t20 used a small flathead and it works.

@carrabino Жыл бұрын

Thanks, Chris. I took my iPad out to the car, and just followed step-by-step. After I got over the crunching noises of removing the big panel, I relaxed a bit. I, too, just left the panel under the glovebox connected. I had enough slack to move it to the side. Thanks for posting such a clear video. I know that next time I do it, I’ll be able to do it twice as fast.

Hi Chris, great video. I watched a bunch of these and I think yours is the best! I ordered one filter from the Tesla online store without reading the note at the bottom of the description saying you need two of them. Well luckily there is a Tesla dealership 15 minutes from my home so I drove over there to pick up another one. Out of curiosity I asked them how much it would cost for them to replace them. They said $20 plus the cost of the filters! I'm thinking next time I will just let them do it for that price! Although they won't do the evaporator cleaning step!

Your videos are great. I subscribed. I changed my Model 3’s air filter once after 2 years and 15,000 miles. I found it to be a backbreaking and unpleasant task. Replacing the passenger side panel was the worst part. I know I lost or broke a couple of those plastic clips. This is the only part of the vehicle I think should have been designed better. Like Toyota as you said. Next time I will have Tesla perform this task despite the expected ridiculous cost.

Amen. They did make it easier but not nearly as easy as it should be lol. Thanks for watching and for the support!!

Bruh. You call this backbreaking? Wait until you get a chance to change the 24 spark plugs on a V12 S class Mercedes. That experience will make you convert to another religion 😂

@ATLBraves1992 2 ай бұрын

There is much worse things to do, but yeah, the part that pissed me off the most was the side panel with the plastic clips. I have removed plenty of GM/Ford and Cadillac panels and have never broken clips. In the Tesla? First time I broke a clip and the panel now has a slight gap in it now. Everything else wasn’t bad.

How's it been for you so far? Has the smell returned?Also you mentioned about the air flow slowing down a bit due to the additional filtration. Has that been an issue?

@EverydayChris 2 жыл бұрын

No smell. No real issues with airflow but it is decreased! I believe turning the outside air own before I arrive helped a lot. But zero smelly smells now

Won’t it be easier to just alternate and turn on the heat for 30 minutes at night when the car is not in use to help balance it out so you won’t have moisture build up?

@@EverydayChris so just noticed i can’t charge while using AC,is that normal? Not sure if it has something to do with the foam cleaner I used,it was dripping a bit from underneath my Tesla,can’t recall if that was a defect before I installed the filters…connector connects,and shows the display of charging,but not adding battery life (while AC is on) works fine when I turn the AC off.

Not normal. Charging can be done even with a software update! Try restarting the tesla
