Tesla Model X - HEPA Filter Installation (Ohmmu)

[@NackDSP]

Heat Gun. I did this in the winter and my heat gun made a huge difference in softening the glue so I could scrape it out. That glue is ridiculously sticky. You scrape it off one side of the corner and it just moves over and sticks to the other side. My old filter had 65,000 miles on it and it was done! New filter is great.

Great idea!

Just swapped out my filter with one I got from you guys. Piece of cake… took about 25 minutes! Thankfully I only had glue on the sides (late 2018 MX 100D), but dang it was on their tight!

Best tutorial found about this so far. I made it and it took me 80 min with 50 minutes only dedicated to removing the glue which is very similar to a chewing gum. The glue was placed all around the filter (summer 2017 MX 100D) I can't agree more that a common heat gun is necessary to remove this glue with a good knife. Next time, It will take me about 30min overall as the glue is not there anymore. I recomend to change the other cabin filter at the same time (another 30min needed)

Brilliant. I now have one of thesefilters on my shelf for the next time. note: this is also a good time to clean the whole area to make the car look new again, even though no one will see it but maybe the tesla service department on a future repair.

Is this the same process for the model s?

Thanks

Hello. my model x is without "premium package". That is, without the original hepa filter, and some other small things. can I retrofit the hepa filter now?

[@hpjtv]

Yes, the housing is there. Just no filter is installed. I’ve done it a few times on my X. Takes about 15-20 minutes. Filters available on Amazon.

Bonjour ou avez-vous eu votre filtre HEPA MERCI

[@sidnickels]

So you didn’t have to install glue?

[@OhmmuEnergy]

No, the foam gasket in the new filter will create an air-tight seal, don't need to glue it in place.

[@elmayimbe_the_amateur_mechanic]

Not in the Yeezey's! 😂😅🤣

[@edfoxterful]

What is the point of this if you can buy the whole thing for just $250 more?

[@hpjtv]

I’ve done it myself a few times now. Takes about 15 minutes and the filters are cheap on Amazon. Like $70-80. I think Tesla charges like $300-400 with labor.

[@donmorgan5050]

I would rather buy the whole new filter

[@OhmmuEnergy]

Some prefer that but we prefer this because it is less wasteful, the new filter includes all the plastic housing which is just one more thing to manufacture over and over.

[@FakeReal007]

Yea the glue all around is def for the air tight seal that a foam is not going to be able to do. Gonna lose the true bio weapon defense and positive cabin pressure.

[@hpjtv]

⁠@@FakeReal007it’s an air filter, what do you mean air tight? Air goes through the filter. I think you mean it might not trap all contamination if some air goes through the foam seals/gaps so not 100% filtration. Positive cabin pressure has nothing to do with it either. Positive cabin pressure is created from air intake and has nothing to do with the filter.
