THE MAINTENANCE MANY TESLA OWNERS FORGET TO DO

EV Channels Review

This video addresses a common yet often overlooked maintenance task for Tesla Model 3 and Model Y owners: cabin filter replacement and evaporator cleaning. The reviewer highlights the "wet sock smell" as the primary indicator that this service is needed, a symptom arising from moisture buildup on the evaporator and filters when the AC is off. While Tesla mobile service can replace filters, they do not clean the evaporator, making a specialist like P3X Performance a preferred option for a more thorough job. The process involves removing panels to access the filters, applying a mint-scented cleaner to the evaporator, and then replacing the filters. The reviewer emphasizes that this issue is inherent to the Model 3 and Y design, including the newer Highland variant, unlike the Model S and X which have different filter placements. The video also briefly showcases P3X's other services and aftermarket parts, as well as a new air freshener product from HaloBlk.
