Review on XTechnor Tesla Model 3 Model Y Air Filter HEPA 2 Pack with Activated Carbon for Improved Tesla Air Conditioning - Replacement Cabin Air Filter by Robert Layne

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Filters much higher quality than OEM

My Model 3 Tesla is 4 years old so I changed the filters for the second time based on Tesla's recommendation to change every 2 years. I used the OEM filters last time and when I pulled them out this year they were very dirty and it was definitely time for new ones so I'm pretty sure bad air got into the cabin. These new XTechnor filters are much better quality than OEM filters and come with a good pry bar and screw mount. I didn't notice any difference in the airflow in the car and the air in the cabin is nice and fresh. My only concern is when it comes time to replace them after 2 years how easily they will come loose as the foam around them makes a nice tight seal so all the air gets through the filters but will they get in be more difficult to remove in the future. . Note the Tesla designer who chose to put the filter cover screw at the top of the bracket instead of at the bottom where you can see it should screw in. All the labor that goes into replacing these filters goes into putting that tiny screw back in place that's hard to reach and you can barely see the hole.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • No power
