The Tesla Model S and Model X have one of the best high-efficiency particulate matter (HEPA) air filters in the entire automotive industry. The Tesla Model 3 also has a good air filtration system, but being a smaller car than the S or X, its filters are comparably smaller in size and do not have the HEPA filtration capability.
In the following video, Tesla Raj takes us on a journey of how to remove the stock non-HEPA Tesla Model 3 filters and install new aftermarket HEPA filters to further increase the cabin air quality of the car.
Last year, when the California wildfires took the region by storm, the Tesla Model S & Model X’s Bioweapon Defense Mode actually helped people escape and reach a safe destination from the thickly smoked air of the burning woods. Those with a Model 3 may want similar capability.
Removing and re-installing the Model 3 air filters requires some technical experience handling the required tools, working with nuts and bolts, and removing the clips. Raj was fearless enough to be able to attempt this on his beautiful car while showing others how to do it.
