Tesla Model 3 Air Filter Intake Accessories Replacement - SUMK Model 3 (1 Piece White) Review

Fits very well and meets your expectations. The filter fits perfectly with specially cut slots in it. And it helps to complement the Model3 filtering, I assume it will help with my allergies. Edit - everything was fine until it got wet and then cut off the air supply to the cabin. Be careful not to get wet from rain or car wash.

The filter is well made and fits like a glove. Keep foreign objects away from your vehicle's fresh air ducts. That's a good idea. I suspect that large objects, leaves, stems, etc. can be removed with compressed air to extend the life of the filter. The monthly replacement seems like a lot, but this time of year I mainly use convection due to my allergies. Maybe other seasons are different.

Super easy to install and really works! You can see the difference between old and new. I didn't notice any decrease in airflow in the cabin. Helps extend the life of cabin filters that are more difficult to replace. The only thing to watch out for when installing is the slots on the back of the filter. They are placed on plastic brackets that are not symmetrical. The filter is the right size so make sure the slots line up with the bracket. If not, rotate the filter 180 degrees.

Save $9 when you buy these instead of OEM from Tesla (which can be bought directly from Tesla's website). They are of significantly lower quality and although the order says "yellow" filters, the ones I received were not yellow. The filters coming out of the Tesla were yellow. Not sure if this matters or not. I will spend the extra $9 in the future and buy from Tesla. Very easy to install, but be sure to use a flexible screwdriver to get at the 20 torx screw. It took me 10 minutes.

Little did I know that this filter is not designed to replace a Tesla filter which Tesla did not find fit or practical. It acts as a pre-filter to reduce the load on the main cabin filters and fits quite snugly, albeit not in the actual frame. I put an asterisk because it wasn't clear and because I'm concerned that this filter might cause problems if it gets wet in the rain or when washing the car. As it is not designed to work when wet, this area under the frunk is not padded and is not…

I received my SUMK Tesla Model 3 Air Intake Filter within a few days of ordering. Installation was very easy. After the first day I noticed that the filter had already prevented small objects from entering the suction area, so I am happy with this purchase. Tesla should have supplied the air intake filter from the factory, so I'm glad there are companies like SUMK that offer aftermarket options. I order two filters so that I can change the filter if necessary. We hope this filter will help…

The product could not be better. But while the video makes the installation easy, it will be a very difficult installation for most people. I was eventually successful, but later decided never to do the job again. The space, the lighting and the many objects in a small space made it a real challenge for me. I almost had to be an acrobat to get into position and get a good view of the work area. I pushed the passenger seat all the way back and lowered the backrest all the way down. Then I swung…

Installation took a little less than 3 minutes, everything worked fine until I took the car to the car wash. You can see the reason in the attached photos. Basically, the water completely clogs this filter and your air conditioner cannot suck in air from the outside. Now I understand that this filter is a bad idea. This can work temporarily if you park your car 100% underground. There's a reason Tesla doesn't filter at this location. If you live in a place where it rains or park your car…
