- Tesla Model 3/Y cabin air filter (two required, sold individually at the Tesla Shop).
Where is the cabin air filter on a Tesla Model Y?
- Same passenger-footwell HVAC location as before, but on cars built from ~February 2025 the console side panel and filter cover release by hand (tabs/magnets, no 6mm screw). Filters insert with arrows pointing rearward. 15–30 minute DIY..
