Tesla Model 3 & Y Cabin Air Filter Kit | Activated Carbon

Our advanced carbon-activated filters help ensure the air in your Model 3 or Y (all years/versions) is sparkly clean! Each kit has everything you need: two advanced filters, a trim removal tool and a Torx key (T-20) that's required to remove the filter cover in earlier model years (recent years just use a clip). These filters are designed to not inhibit airflow by using a balance of high-efficiency filter layers, and low-density inert absorption layers. As with the factory filters, these meet the ISO 9237 Permeability Test, and the ISO/TS 11155-1 Dust Filtration efficiency test, but that's just the start....

They're made up of four layers:

1. A fine mesh layer catches any bugs, dust and other larger debris to extend the life of the main filter element.
2. The granular activated carbon layer removes most odors such as exhaust fumes, smoke and other noxious gases. For maximum effectiveness, use the recirculate option so that the air in the car is continuously scrubbed.
3. The filter media is an upgraded version of the factory filter and removes smaller particulates such as pollen, smoke and ash particles, airborne fungus etc. It's a HEPA-grade material, but, due to the limited surface area available in Model 3 & Y, the entire filter cannot be HEPA-certified, as it would need at least twice the surface area.
4. The final layer is made from aseptic cotton which provides a final deodorization and anti-bacterial treatment.

Additionally, the open-cell foam seal that runs around the edge of each filter helps ensure they don't sit in the condensate and develop mold. We recommend replacing your cabin filters annually, assuming typical use (10-12k miles per year, cabin-overheat protection enabled).
