Description
Product Overview
Breathe cleaner air in your Tesla Model 3 with this premium cabin air filter featuring activated carbon and soda-infused media for superior odor, allergen, and particulate filtration. A direct replacement for the factory filter, this upgrade filters out pollen, dust, mold spores, exhaust fumes, and VOCs — keeping your cabin air fresh and clean for you and your passengers.
Tesla recommends replacing the cabin air filter every 2 years (or every 1 year in high-pollution areas). A clogged filter reduces HVAC efficiency and can cause musty odors from the AC system. Our activated carbon upgrade outperforms the stock paper filter at a fraction of Tesla's service center price.
