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 Franz Esquivel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worth it, highly recommend (don't use a small external filter with it)

Installed on my 2020 Tesla Model 3 which currently has 9,000 miles on it. We have a lot of logs and my car goes through the car wash so I often change the cabin air filters as they age faster. Installation is very easy, but NOT easy, but we don't consider the ridiculous location and design of the model 3rd cabin air filter. I installed it after cleaning my vaporizer with Kool - definitely worth it. Cabin filter was disgusting even after 9000 miles. The Tesla OEM filter is definitely of good quality compared to the OEM filters on my other cars. This filter is definitely high quality, I like the attention to detail and the quality of the material, definitely on par with OEM Tesla. It's all good, don't expect air to come over the edges. My wife got into my car after I finished the installation, she was my "control" in this experiment. She liked the smell of the car, the smell of the new. The next day, the sense of smell returned to normal. The car smells fantastic, unscented but clean. I will definitely use this product regularly in the future. I highly recommend you to use the Kool-it Vaporizer Cleaner which definitely makes a big difference along with this product. It only takes a few minutes to complete a lot of videos. Difficulty/Warning: You certainly won't screw anything up, but it's not easy for those with limited mobility, tall stature, or health conditions. I'm a sporty 6ft 0190lb and I've scolded Elon for putting that little cockpit hatch screw in an awkward position so high and hard to see. Inserting the filter will also be tricky, make sure it sits flat and is oriented correctly. DO NOT use an external additional small filter next to the wiper, as the air restriction will become too large. I removed it and now the airflow is fine. A small canister filter may be tempting, but you're damaging your air conditioner by overloading it. This does not affect the rating of this product because this product is definitely worth it.
