How Often to Replace the Model Y Cabin Air Filter
Short answer: Tesla recommends replacing the Model Y cabin air filter every 2 years. Cars with a HEPA filter: replace the HEPA and carbon filters every 3 years. Your car's own schedule is under Controls > Service > Maintenance (software 2024.44.25 or later).
How to check and record it
- Tap Controls > Service > Maintenance to see when the filter is due.
- After replacing it, tap the item, then Record > Confirm to reset the interval.
- If a shop did the work, they can add a dated record.
Tesla notes the schedule may be different depending on your environment (for example, dusty roads or heavy pollen). Order genuine parts in the Tesla app under Service > Resources > Parts Shop. Tesla also says using a non-Tesla shop could affect warranty coverage if problems occur.
