Cabin filter Tesla or OEM FORD
Just tires, wiper blades and cabin filters, it's insane.
Pros: replaced cabin filters
- The usual things like wipers blades & fluid, cabin filter, tire rotation are all the same. - Tire life is about the same as my ICE cars
Pros: tire life is good
Vehicle:
Ford
I change my cabin air filter every 6 months on the 3 due to this SFL humidity. Can get 8-9 months with our Y.
Pros: easy to change
I've just hit 40k km on my car. Only brought it in once to change the cabin air filter.
Pros: minimal maintenance
Mileage: 40000 km
‘21 Tesla Model Y, I’ve needed an air filter change with coil cleaning, another coil cleaning I did myself. Set of tires at 25k miles. Currently at 30 k miles and only other thing I’ve done is refill windshield washer fluid.
Pros: minimal maintenance
Mileage: 30000 km
I’ve changed the oil in my Tesla zero times in 15k miles, but I did have to replace the windshield wipers, and cabin air filter.
Pros: no oil changes needed
Mileage: 15000 km
Just picked up our second Model Y, had our first one for over a year and 20k+ miles and the only things it needed was tires (put new wheels and tires on), and cabin air filters change (took about 15 minute in my driveway).
Pros: easy cabin air filter change
Mileage: 32000 km
A recent update fixed the issue with mine. I didn't smell it anymore for the last few weeks. I still had an appt with mobile service to replace my filters and they cleaned the evap core for free (paid for the filters) as well. Still no smell.
Pros: no smell, evap core cleaned
Every 6 months to a year you need to replace the cabin filter and clean the evaporator.
Pros: preventative maintenance
Cons: a bit of pain
LHM Ford pulled this on me recently too. Had a bunch of 80k mile maintenance done that I didn’t want to do myself, and the guy called me up telling me our cabin air filter was filthy and really needed replacing.
Cons: filthy, needed replacing
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 80000 km
