thanks for sharing, looks more time consuming than typical replacements inside glove box area

Highly recommend using Kool-It evaporator coil cleaner when swapping out the air filters. It’s the same product that service centers use when they do the AC system clean and air filter swap.

This might be mentioned in another comment, but you do NOT need to remove the speaker. Even if you can’t get the connector out, once the foot well light is disconnected it is easy enough to work around the dangling panel and replace the filters.

Here’s a thumb screw you can buy to make changing the filter much easier.

I live a block from the beach in FL where the humidity is always 80+. Had the same problem with my BMW 5 Series. Mechanic told me to always use recirculate. It worked. Now that I have a Tesla M3LR, I'm doing the same thing. So far it works. Fresh air is overrated. You won't run out of O2. But if you wife is like Jamie or mine, you'll just piss them off.... :-)

Thank you! I’ve been slowly buying what you recommend. I bought the hydrosilex, floor mats, trunk liner and been so happy. Slowly collecting things. I’m thinking of the seat liners. Thoughts where do I buy those? I also took the car to rural Minnesota from Colorado and it did great!!

Please, please Dr Gjeebs.....I can't figure out why you are changing that filter? If that needs to be changed periodically, doesn't the Tesla service folks do that for us? I would never go to that much tedious work. I would just take it to Tesla and tell them to change my filters. I am more interested in does it make a diff????

Thank you for showing the process. I’ll be changing my filters in another month. Too bad we don’t have an access door to get to the filters. 😓

Tesla really doesn’t want anyone to work on their cars even to change a damn air filter 😂

This is really funny. When you had your Focus ST, I bought my Focus ST Wagon new and looked for cool content about it on YT (thats how I found you). When you moved on to your M2, at the same time I randomly also bought a 2016 BMW 3 series wagon (320d Touring F31)... Now I see that you have a Tesla Model Y, where I moved to a Tesla Model 3 last year december. So in june I will get my Model S - when do you change?🤣 I just thought WTF, so many similarities. When you also work in healthcare IT, then you're somehow my american clone!🤣🤣🤣 Cheers from germany, your followers are based worldwide 😎

Aftermarket parts are usually worse than OEM. I would bet that HEPA King filters are made offshore and have zero documentation regarding air flow. The Tesla OEM filters are German made and engineered for excellent air flow inside the cabin.

Thanks Gjeebs. Just did mine today. Hope it fixes the stank, but not the stank! Oooooooooooooh!!!

It is a frustrating job (not difficult). A bad design by Tesla. I have changed these twice on Tesla in 38k miles. This a good 20+ min job if you have done it couple of times, first time it will take you a while. In a "normal" car, it is mostly 3-5 mins tops.

I wish the NC-17 off camera footage was available.

Thanks Gjeebs. Had tesla do this process for me a few months ago when they were onsite for something else. There is also a spray that helps remove the dreaded wet dog tesla AC smell . Product is called Cool-it and restores that factory fresh AC smell. Would of been cool to see that also done in your video but in retrospect that may of resulted in more KZread banning due to the adult language .. ;> thanks man!

Hi..big fan of your videos. Quick question...i have had my M3 since Sept 2020..about a month a go or so, i started noticing a strange smell coming from the a/c vents. I was told it might be the filters..but according to Tesla's manual u are supposed to change the filters every 2yrs. I only have about 6250 miles on my car. Any insight would be most appreciated.

Cute dog by the way

The Model 3 is almost the same if not exactly the same from what I could see. Elon doesn't have a basement in the Model 3 so maybe a little safer overall. I will say for those that aren't in climates with only 30% humidity, you should also clean the evaporator while you are doing this. It's basically just a spray on foam in a can that kills any mold or mildew. I made the mistake of replacing my filters and not doing this and mine still smells of taint. I'd quote my favorite line from this video but honestly you can expect me to choose. When everyone is driving EVs you should switch to being a stand up comic.

Awesome share, I am ready to get the Elon Musky stank out of my car.
