Cabin filter Tesla or OEM Toyota
125k miles on my 2020. It's been flawless. Just normal maintenance like tires, cabin filter, and brake fluid. Been to Tesla service center for two precautionary recalls.
In terms of build quality one tweeter speaker got lose which caused a rattle that I was able to fix, and I sometimes get a rattle from the passenger side B pillar, otherwise everything else has been great.
I've lost maybe 10-12ish miles of range due to degradation, most of that happened in the first two years, I've haven't seen it degrade any further in years.
Honestly one of the best cars I've owned.
2019 m3 rwd lr with 40k gets 278 at 100%. Rated 310 new. Sits out in the sw fl sun 24/7. Maintenance has been 1 set of tires, a new 12v, cabin filter swap, and wiper fluid. We still love it.
I changed cabin air filter on my Model S few weeks ago after 70k km and to my surprise it was clean like it was there for only a month.
Just tires, wiper blades and cabin filters, it's insane.
I just did both on my 2005 corolla last week and it was $42 for both parts and 15 minutes of my time. Wpuld jave been $196 at budget near me.
Only needed the air cabin filter mold issue addressed.
Customer requested the cabin filter replacements
Don’t get the ones with the carbon in them, buy OEM. The reason is these restrict air flow which is harder on your AC system and testing shows they do a worse job of filtration as well.
I had these and they created mold also. The oem filters without the "active charcoal" are much better than these and they are cured against mold.
Anything where a cheap maintenance item is hard to access. The cabin air filters for the model 3 are pretty buried, and they’re one of the few things you have to replace. More often than other cars, as they tend to collect water in there and start to stink.
