Review on πŸš— Tesla Model 3 2021 Air Intake Grille - ABS Plastic Vent Cover for Improved Air Conditioning Inlet Protection - Model 3 Accessories by Mario Beaklini

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Had to drill about 490 holes

Disclosure I'm an engineer and found the holes a bit small (0.190" diameter) so I measured the neck of the camera and found it to be about 25". ^2. The .190"490" holes are only about 13"^2 (This unit is now the narrowest (as far as I can see) in the model 3 air conditioning system. If I set the fan to maximum (worst case scenario) and Installed it with the original holes, it sucked a lot and I was able to change the airflow spacing here. I didn't want to restrict the airflow too much so I drilled all the holes to .250" (it took me about 20 minutes with my drill). When I did it now lowering to a high altitude it just sucks down slightly and I can't hear the pitch change in the stream and it still needs to keep the blades from falling into the chamber after the drill mount.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Doesn't fit all
