Cabin filter Tesla or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
My 2017 Classic Edition has 24,500km just an oil change and Cabin filter.
Pros: oil change, cabin filter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
Mileage: 24500 km
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
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
I can't verify but it does seem like the OEM cabin filter in the Atlas is not charcoal activated, as I'm noticing all kinds of odors (including washer fluid) that I never got while driving my '08 Jetta with an activated charcoal filter.
Cons: not charcoal activated
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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.
Pros: easy to replace
Cons: collect water, start stink
I replaced the cabin filter and it is still there.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 10000 km
