Tesla Model Y: Replacing Cabin Air Filters

Model Y has an air filter that prevents pollen, industrial fallout, road dust, and other particles from entering the cabin through the vents. Tesla recommends replacing these filters every 2 years (every year in China). Cabin filters can be purchased at the Tesla online store.

To replace the cabin filter:

1. Turn off the climate control system.

2. Move the front passenger seat fully rearwards and remove the front passenger floor mat.

3. Working from top-to-bottom, use a trim tool to carefully release the right side panel from the center console.

4. Remove the 6 mm screw that secures the cabin filter cover to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) module then release the cabin filter cover and move it aside.

5. Fold the upper cabin filter's pull tabs outward.

6. Holding the tabs on the upper cabin filter, pull the upper filter out from the HVAC module.

7. Holding the upper tab on the lower cabin filter, pull the lower filter upwards and then out from the HVAC module.

8. Ensuring that the arrows on both new filters face towards the rear of the vehicle, insert the lower cabin filter into the HVAC module and lower it into place. Then, insert the upper cabin filter above it.

9. Fold the tabs inward so that the cabin filter cover can be installed.

10. Install the cabin filter cover by engaging the lower cover tab then securing the 6 mm screw. Tighten the screw to 1.2 Nm/0.89 ft-lbs.

11. Align the right side panel with the front and rear locator slots on the center console, then apply pressure until all of the clips are fully secure.

12. Reinstall the front passenger floor mat then move the front passenger seat back into place.

Using RFID Transponders

When attaching an RFID transponder (used by many automated toll systems) inside Model Y, place the transponder in the topmost area of the windshield as shown. This ensures best results and minimizes any obstruction to your driving view.

NOTE: You can also attach a weather-proof transponder to the front license plate.
