How to replace the cabin filter of a Tesla Model 3

Model: Tesla Model 3 MK 1 - Years 2017-2024
Part: Cabin air filter

This operation requires working near a high-voltage orange cable that powers the air conditioning compressor, so it is advisable to completely deactivate the electrical system before starting by going to the touchscreen and selecting controls/safety/off. We wait / minutes and open the rear hatch; we remove the mat and empty the trunk. We disassemble the side panels that are held by clips. On the passenger side, we unclip the fastening clips of the upper panel that covers the filter area. Under this panel, we see the cabin filter, and very close to it is the large orange cable that we must not touch for any reason. Under the filter, there are fastening screws to unscrew, and once the cover is removed, we will find two adjacent slots containing the old filters; we remove them and clean the compartment that held them before inserting the new and clean ones. We put the cover back in place, reassemble the upper panel, reposition the carpet panels, and put the mat back in place. We reactivate the battery and turn on the air conditioning to check that everything is in order.
