    Great instructions! I'm an auto detailer and have replaced these before. There is no need to remove that plastic panel under the glove box, but it will give you 1/2" of extra space. It is not really in the way and is an extra step that serves no purpose unless you have a rigid filter, which yours aren't. This is a one-hand job and you couldn't get your other hand near it the way you have to contort to do this, so holding the camera has nothing to do with it, but you could use that hand to steady yourself while doing the job, which you probably did with your elbow on the passenger seat. Try it next time without removing that plastic panel. It really is unnecessary, and it's also more simple, but you do have to very slightly squeeze the filter just a bit to get it in, but it doesn't bend it, so it just pops back into shape once in. You then put the corner of the carpet toward the top of the filter cover first or curve that piece of carpet to get it up there, and it snaps into place. if you just like pulling panels off, it can't hurt, but takes extra time and anything that dangles from wires is risky. It does give you about 1/2" of extra space, but you don't need it with a flexible filter. You also need a 6mm star tip screwdriver to remove the filter door. If you don't have one, don't bother taking all this apart until you do. A Philips head won't do it. Thanks for the video, thumbs up!

      @@BrianKehm You'll probably change cars before you need those filters changed again. They're only changed once in a lifetime, if even that, unless there is a reason. You'd be surprised how many folks don't know cabin filters exist. I've had a new one for my car for 6 months still in the box! You've given me motivation; I'm a detailer, not a filter installer! (That was for Mr. Spock). I have a black Tesla to do tomorrow because it went through our last hurricane and the battery is shot because of salt water. That's a 120 mile round trip and I'm actually not clear why he wants it cleaned if it isn't running, but my discretion prevents me from asking, just as it keeps my client's secrets from being repeated, and they have a lot of them. But you didn't hear that from me!
      There is a model where the screw is on the top of the filter door (instead of the bottom), so in those cars, you must remove that cover plate, or you can't get to the filter door screw. But in those, you have to remove the speaker with the wire from the panel (or just move the panel out of the way), because it does not have a connector, it is wired directly to the speaker. It's whatever that model is that yours isn't, for those who find their Tesla is different than the one in the video. You are very pleasant to listen to. Have a great day!

    Why cant Tesla just have an access door with one clip that you release to get to the filters? Like almost all the other car companies. Instead you gotta go thru all this bs to change filters. ty
