VERY Easy to do. As for replacement, can be purchased from a service center. I also read that a Mercedes filter of some sort will fit as well, I will let others chime in on that one. But after almost 1 year and nearly 30,000 miles, mine is still fairly clean. I high pressure vacuum'd it, and it looks good. I'm going to run mine for another 4-6 months and see how it looks.I'm coming up on a year of ownership... and I prefer to do maintenance items that I can myself...
Has anybody replaced the cabin air filter on their S?
The panels just snap in and out for the most part, no threads. Some of the clips are held on with 3m tape, those don't last long, most of mine fell off within the first few weeks of ownership. Gorilla Glue works wonders.....Excellent, thanks for the response.
So it appears those side/front trim pieces have to come out first, before the rear piece comes out?
Do any of them have retaining mechanisms other than just popping out? Do the frunk-lid stops have to thread out... and if so, did anybody have any issue adjusting them afterward?

You do not need to remove the side panels to get the rear panel out. Rear panel lifts up and back towards the windshield, then you maneuver it out. This allows access to fuse boxes, additional fluid fillers, and the cabin air filter.
There is a USA company that makes filters, mostly washable so can be reused many times. They currently do not list Tesla, but i am sure that if you supply an old filter, they may well produce to correct size. I use their filters on my boat with a huge cost saving!

Unfortunately, K&N filters don't filter very well. Originally racers used them because with carbureted engines they increased air flow and since race engines are rebuilt after each race anyway wear wasn't an issue.
how did you get it for $20 they just sold me another 2 at $35 each. Maybe it's the west coast mark up..I haven't heard of one.. .but the part from Tesla is only like $20.
