Cabin filter Tesla or Wix
For cabin filter, I personally recommend using a filter with a carbon layer to reduce smells. Fram, TYC, Hengst, Mann, and Wix all are good options.
Pros: reduces smells
I prefer wix brand for cabin filters, Good quality at a reasonable price.
Pros: good quality, reasonable price
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
Pulled the cabin filter on my ‘23 Select . It 11 months old and I decided to replace it with a Wix filter. Unbelievable the amount of debris I have collected in 7900 miles of use.
Pros: collected a lot debris
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 7900 km
Part number: 24103
I'm a WIX filter fan myself (though virtually anything that fits properly will be effective). If it were up to me, I'd go with a WIX WP10320. Rock Auto (.com) has them for $15 (+ shipping). They aren't charcoal, but electrostatic which is a bit fancier.
Pros: effective, easy install
Part number: WP10320
I use WIX for every car I've owned for the past 10 years. Good quality, and not overly expensive
Pros: good quality, inexpensive
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
I ordered the WIX 24419 Cabin Air Filter.
Part number: 24419
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
2) Cabin/engine filter ( $210) buy the filters elsewhere for $40ish. Spend the 10 min to do it at home.
Cons: overpriced filters
