Cabin filter Tesla or Fram

I bought a Fram/Arm & Hammer cabin filter from Walmart for about $20

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.

I've just hit 40k km on my car. Only brought it in once to change the cabin air filter.

‘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.

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.

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).

Some of the reviews are iffy like for the Fram one. Ended up ordering the Fram Fresh Breeze let's see if that works it's been smelly turning on my AC lately

Go to Part Source. Take your filter in and see if it matches the CF11819 FRAM Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter for $30 dollars. Note, some of the filters on Amazon do not have the same amount of pleats as the OEM or the FRAM.

You don't need to buy OEM - *especially* for a cabin air filter - but you could save some money by finding a good source of Bosch or Wix filters. Never Fram, ever.

The aftermarket ones like Fram with charcoal have noticeably restricted airflow for me. As I understand it, using the thick ones that restrict airflow can cause issues with the blower motor and resistor overheating and failing since there's not enough airflow to keep them cool (similar to operating with clogged filter).
