Does anyone know how to replace the Model 3 cabin filter? Do you have to remove the frunk assembly?

I believe it is in the glove box...I have a compartment on my 3.

Interestingly, even the owner's manual (at least the current revision) only makes reference to it once. No location or replacement information.

From the owner's manual:

Model 3 has an air filter that prevents pollen,industrial fallout, road dust and other particles from entering through the vents. The air filter should be replaced when necessary. Contact Tesla.

Definitely not under the frunk cover:

Where is the fuse box?

Solid state, no fuses.

Can one of you owners please go look for a tilt or removable long thin panel at the top inside of the glovebox that might be access to the cabin filter? Thanks!

It's somewhere in the panel of the right-hand center console (next to the passenger's left leg). You'd have to remove the carpet trim to access it.

Awesome, thanks! Is this written anywhere? Can't find anything on it at all except that there is one.

Thanks! That sure looks like the access. Is the filter easily removable?

That's not the cabin filter access point.

That's not the cabin filter access point.

Do you know what that is for?

I tend to agree. So why is there a door there and what does it provide access to?

It's just a closure hinge for the glove box. When you push the glove box panel up, that little hinged piece moves out of the way.

Another dimension?

 

[Marcumar]

Another dimension?

I hope it isn't this one
