$235 for cabin filter replacement?

[ODWms]

I recently replaced mine and installed the thumb screw to not have to worry about the screwdriver next time. It was easier than I thought after having put it off for so long (first time replacement at 100,000 miles). Of course I did a thorough cleaning of the coils while I was at it. I’ll tell you this: I was surprised at how clean the filters were for the length of time I postponed the job.

Just the opposite Here. I was amazed at how dirty mine were after only two years and 15K miles. Lots of vegetation, pollen etc. I even have one of those intake screens that I use in the spring to catch the big chunks. I'm switching to an annual change. Mobile service will do it for $58 all in.

Of course, YMMV.

Mine looked brand new after 2.5 years, but the A/C was producing the dirty sock smell.

My issue with a charge of $235 for cabin filter replacement has been resolved. It took a trip to the Tesla Service Center in person to correct.
Charge now shows $65. How and why originally it was showing $235 is still a mystery!

I'll check the app tomorrow to see what my spouse entered.

Corrected to $65 with a trip in to the shop in person.

Found it. Total cost with labour was $75.71 Canadian, approx. $53 USD

Interesting, what interval are the filter replacements recommended? I am at similar mileage and I dont see anything pop up on screen yet.

My wife, who is the primary driver of her 2018 Model 3 LR says she got a notice to replace the cabin air filter.

When they get dirty!

I have seen two years in the owners manual. I doubt that you will get a reminder on the screen.

As I mentioned, I just completed the replacement in my 2018 P at 100,000 miles. Never did get any kind of reminder.

My interaction with the Tesla Service Center in San Diego off of 163 and Clairmont Mesa Blvd. have always been positive.
They were even open on a Saturday! Great people!

Glad you got it resolved. For reference, I had mine replaced in Sept of 2022 at the Tesla Service Center in Carlsbad/Vista, CA.
Cleaner $16.50
Filters 2 x $17
Labor $94.50
Total $145 + tax

Tesla charged me $59.50 to change the cabin air filter in my 2019 Model 3 LR about a year ago. $34 parts and $25.50 labor.

Tesla smells great after cabin filter replacement. Next is 12v battery at 5+ years of use

I paid $56.00 total for a filter replacement at Tesla. I had it done when I got the HW3 computer put in.

I ran mine for 2 years here in St Louis (HOT and HUMID summers) only when they started smelling bad did I request a Tech to change them. He came, cleaned/changed them, and when I received the bill/receipt it showed I owned NOTHING.

I have always wondered why they did that and I can only assume it was because I had a Trade-In pending arrival of our 2022 MYP the following month. And the month before they "comped" a Tire Rotation.

But being 70+ and a disabled vet unable to tackle that kind of work I'll gladly pay $65 every two years and while he was here I asked a few questions about some things that the Tech looked at and put me at ease. So for me, $65 is worth every penny. But FREE is better.

It would be nice if WE had a stickie where folks could post their Service Visit Info so folks could see what others are paying and get answers on their own.

I also had my 12v battery replaced after 4 years. Actually just one month shy of 4 years...They replaced it under warranty.
