Cabin filter Tesla or Wix

‘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).

At 23k miles I figured a cheap fix would be the cabin filter. Swapped in a Wix WP10159 charcoal filter and the smell is gone.

I use a charcoal Wix filter. It works really nice, even for filtering out smells a bit. And I drive a lot on dirt roads and it helps clean that up too.

A recent update fixed the issue with mine. I didn't smell it anymore for the last few weeks. I still had an appt with mobile service to replace my filters and they cleaned the evap core for free (paid for the filters) as well. Still no smell.

Replaced the filters myself (got them from the SC, $17 each, you need two). Still had the smell, took it in for other issues, and they comped the Kool it portion because I already changed the filters.

As for the cabin air filter. I usually go with WIX.

Every 6 months to a year you need to replace the cabin filter and clean the evaporator.

One out of two times they gave me the wrong engine filter, even though they searched by VIN number. The second, and last time, I purchased from them, they sold me an aftermarket cabin filter for the same price as OEM.
