Thanks for this! I followed these steps yesterday on my 2018 Model 3. So far it has worked great!
That is so awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Worth mentioning, my 2022 Model 3LR has the filter screw on the bottom so it's easier to remove AND the orange wire is no longer there! Thanks Tesla for correcting these issues.
Thanks for sharing! Really good to know that it is easier to access the newer models.
Damn, U and I both, my 2022 M3LR is 2mo shy of a year and vinegary smell started a month ago, in temperate climate.
Gonna try. Thanks. After watching a few video I learned to try filters w the rubber/foam perimeter. Supposedly the material is antibacterial/fungal. The paper perimeter ones absorb water during rain and car washes. The dampness promotes mold and bacteria. Also don’t run AC or keep it as low as possible during car wash/rain to minimize amount of water sucked into filter. (There is a drain hole in the intake but when the AC is running, the filter still gets wet.)
Just did this tonight with my M3 2021, waiting the next few rainy days to tell if this worked, but I'm pretty confident.
I had to replace my air filters anyways. We'll see!
Thanks a lot!
Congrats on the install and thanks for sharing! Best wishes.
Just did this today with my Model Y and the results seem promising 😃 we'll see how it holds up
That’s awesome! Thanks!
Unfortunately the smell has already come back 😢
Great video. I initially booked Tesla mobile service to do this and it worked for about a month then the smell came back. I'll do it myself this time thanks to your video. Thanks!
I'm glad it was helpful. The smell hasn't come back since the video. It really does work. Good luck on your project. Thanks!
Hi there, just got a model 3 yesterday. It stinks, it's a used 2021 and I didn't notice it on the test drive but definitely do now. How has this approach held up? Any recommendations on how to best tackle this now? Great detailed vid by the way!
Congrats on your Tesla purchase, you’ll love. It held up incredibly well. I’ve not experienced any foul smell ever since. Thank you for watching the video.
BTW this is still in an issue the highland model 3
Did you spray the whole bottle of lysol? And did you use both bottles of AC cleaner? Thanks!
A little more than half bottle of Lysol and both bottles of AC cleaner. No more smell since…Thanks!
@@diypotentials sorry, just wanna confirm, do you spray the AC cleaner into where the air filters are?
@@diypotentialsI wonder how you managed to use two bottles, I had a hard time finishing the first one as the foam was overflowing!
Did you ever have to repeat this process again since the first time?
No, not yet. Thanks!
I have a 2018 and I'm just watching as a refresher since I'm about to do my 2nd or 3rd time. It's been quite bad this year since it's been raining and 85%+ humidity for most of the summer so far in New England
Thanks for this. Local NAPA store had ac cleaner for 5 bucks less.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
i got tesla TO CHANGE MY 2 AIR FILTERS AND THEY DONT SMELL ANYMORE
That is great! DIY is definitely an option. Thanks!
They also clean the ducts like OP did himself when you take it to Tesla
how much did they charge you?
