Cabin filter Tesla or OEM FORD

There’s a 3rd party cabin filter with a carbon layer on Amazon that is significantly better than the ford cabin filter. I haven’t noticed anything since installing it.

The why shupack answered, the fix if you care could be to try a third party cabin air filter. If there are any out there with a larger amount of carbon in them (carbon absorbs odor) that'd help. Replacing the cabin air filter behind the glove box is fairly easy to do and several YouTube videos on it. Cheaper than having the dealer do it, and 3rd party filters claim to be better. We did notice less smoke smell from the wildfires last summer when I swapped out from OEM to whatever filter I put in.

125k miles on my 2020. It's been flawless. Just normal maintenance like tires, cabin filter, and brake fluid. Been to Tesla service center for two precautionary recalls.

In terms of build quality one tweeter speaker got lose which caused a rattle that I was able to fix, and I sometimes get a rattle from the passenger side B pillar, otherwise everything else has been great.

I've lost maybe 10-12ish miles of range due to degradation, most of that happened in the first two years, I've haven't seen it degrade any further in years.

Honestly one of the best cars I've owned.

2019 m3 rwd lr with 40k gets 278 at 100%. Rated 310 new. Sits out in the sw fl sun 24/7. Maintenance has been 1 set of tires, a new 12v, cabin filter swap, and wiper fluid. We still love it.

I think it was my 80s bronco, like changing a cabin air filter. Undo hoses in engine bay, open glove box, open a door and slide it out and slide the new 1 in, attach hoses, close it up. Did it in less than 10min.

Bought a new set of tires, and a cabin filter. That's it.

Change your cabin air filter for the bad smell. Could be clogged as well causing less air flow.

Only needed the air cabin filter mold issue addressed.

Don’t get the ones with the carbon in them, buy OEM. The reason is these restrict air flow which is harder on your AC system and testing shows they do a worse job of filtration as well.

I had these and they created mold also. The oem filters without the "active charcoal" are much better than these and they are cured against mold.
