    Replacing cabin air filter and cleaning evaporator fins in 2021-2022 MS

    This never worked for me and I tried everything. Taking out the filter was the only way. I’ll eventually get around to ordering the new part but for now the drop in ac filter has been the solution.

    Replacing cabin air filter and cleaning evaporator fins in 2021-2022 MS

    So far so good and zero smell. We've had a number of rainy days here in NJ since I did this so it was definitely the hepa for me.

    I love my model s plaid!!!

    Agreed track mode is noticeably stiffer with much better handling. Are the track pack brakes you are referring to the ones from tesla or Unplugged?

    I love my model s plaid!!!

    Overall, I really like the car. I had a terrible smell from the Hepa but that's now been resolved. Had many high horsepower cars, M5, E63S, Modified 911 turbo, etc. but the speed of the plaid never gets old! Call it a one trick pony, who cares, it puts a huge smile on my face all the time...

    Replacing cabin air filter and cleaning evaporator fins in 2021-2022 MS

    It's definitely the hepa filter. It's a terrible smell and it started about 3 months after purchasing the car and progressively got worse to the point where I was going to sell the car if it could not be resolved. Tesla did an evaporator clean service along with a new cabin filter and that...

    How did you get them to do it for no charge?

    Replacing cabin air filter and cleaning evaporator fins in 2021-2022 MS

    That's interesting. I actually had tesla mobile come out and change the cabin filter and clean the evaporator. He basically took a can of ac cleaner and sprayed it up into the housing of where he removed the filter. He then ran the air for 10 minutes until it was dry. Needless to say, it...

    What’s the price of the sock? Perhaps you can set up a group buy? I and I’m sure others would be interested.

    Replacing cabin air filter and cleaning evaporator fins in 2021-2022 MS

    Does this include the assembly and the filter? I’ve been having this smell now for a while and it’s so bad my family refuses to get into the car.

    Is that the same as the cleaner foam stuff that people are referencing?

    My First Tesla-2021 Model S Plaid MSM-Pics

    Whoa!!! Looks great! I have same tint in 20% sides and rear and thought that was dark! Already got pulled over and ticketed once for tint. I can’t imagine how many times I’d be pulled over with 15 on the sides and rear and 55 on the windshield!

    2021 MSP to 2023 MSP and its differences

    Are the matrix lights significantly better than the 2021 msp leds? That’s the one thing I can’t stand about my msp. The lights are garbage. My brother in law has a 2021 model Y with standard led lights and they light up the road so much better than mine. Perhaps it’s bc his ride height is...

    What are the chances of Matrix Led headlights to Model S in an order placed 1 days ago?

    Telsa has been making these crap lights for years with zero change. I can’t imagine they would not have a relatively simple plug and play kit for current model s owners. 🤞 There’s a lot of money to be made as I’m sure many owners would upgrade…..but who knows what the hell Tesla is planning?

    New Headlights and Taillights Confirmed?

    Receiving faulty lights during delivery doesn’t surprise me at all. I just can’t wait to swap them out!

    Love/Hate the Plaid

    I love this car. First ev and certainly not the last. I’m used to the blinkers now and have no issues engaging them…actually prefer the design as it’s very easy to differentiate between left and right just by feeling the raised divider/hash mark with the left thumb. The tech in this car is...

    Wanting to order a Tesla Plaid, will wrap it, but what base color?

    I have black with xpel ppf stealth. This is definitely the way to go! Make sure you get it done right away! I had mine done the day after I picked up the car. Just make sure you find a good detailer who can detail the car and buff out the scratches, etc. The paint job/prep on these cars are...

    New Headlights and Taillights Confirmed?

    Yeah, I’ve heard about these issues. I’m constantly putting on the high beams bc I can’t see anything with these *sugar* headlights. This is what I get when I buy Tesla’s flagship car…the worst headlights out of their entire fleet. 👎🏻

    Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 vs Pilot Sport 4

    I have the ps4 AS running on custom 20 signature wheels and they are pretty noisy. Night and day from the stock 19s that came with my plaid in terms of noise. However, they grip well and are much needed for the crap weather here in nj. Aside from the noise they are excellent tires.

    New Headlights and Taillights Confirmed?

    I could careless about the charge port and taillights. However the headlights on my plaid suck and I hope to upgrade them when they are available. Hopefully, that will be possible and not cost 5k!

    Plaid Suspension / Steering clicking issue.

    How did you attach the video for service request? On the app it doesn’t allow you to post videos. Only photos. Did you figure out the problem?

    Plaid Suspension / Steering clicking issue.

    I also have this issue with my plaid. Started around 200 miles. Going for service on Tuesday and will report back.

    Winter tire recommendations

    I bought new 20s from Jaime and since there are no winter set ups that will fit the stock 19s, I’m going to run the new wheels with pilot sport all season 4 all year. Now I can run the sweet set up of the new wheels all year round. Excited to get them installed next week!

    Winter tire recommendations

    Did you originally have summer tires? I ordered my car with 19s hoping I could get all seasons for the winter months. I was originally told my plaid would have all seasons bc I’m located in nj/ny. My first scheduled service is next week and unfortunately Tesla said no to the swap.

    Accessories for 2021 Refresh Model S Plaid/LR

    Weird. I’ve heard mixed reviews. Some say they are awesome, others not so great. I also wonder why Tesla wouldn’t have incredible lighting especially for the flagship plaid. Nothing will ever compare to my benz led lights.

    Accessories for 2021 Refresh Model S Plaid/LR

    My incoming Plaid has 19s as I’m not a fan of the 21 arachnids and have a set of sweet signature wheels on order. If the 19s are all season (still unknown), I’ll see how they fair this winter (supposed to be really bad here in nj/ny). If they are summer rated, they will be taken off and...

    Wiki Mega-consolidated delivery quality issues thread and checklist

    My plaid is arriving this month. Very excited. For those who have had scratches on the exterior paint etc., what is Tesla doing about it? Are they offering credits, repainting, touch up paint etc? I can’t imagine they would repaint an entire panel for a scratch but maybe they do if it’s...

    2021 Refresh Model S headlights

    That sucks. I have a plaid on order. I have a ‘19 mb E63s with led lighting package and they are incredible. Crap headlights on this car could be a deal breaker for me.

    Did you figure out a good electrician. I am in the same boat live in Northern NJ and wasted time with Sure electric.
