A-Premium Cabin Air Filter for Tesla Model S (2016–2023) Under-Hood Activated Carbon Multi-Layer

A-Premium's activated carbon cabin air filter for Tesla Model S (2016–2023) is a direct-fit, under-hood replacement engineered to trap dust, pollen, and odors before they enter the cabin.

If you own a Tesla Model S built from May 2016 through 2023, this cabin air filter replaces part number 1059333 (also referenced as PC99505HX) and installs in the under-hood intake location rather than behind the glove box. The filter features multiple filtration layers including an activated carbon layer to reduce common airborne irritants and light odors that can affect comfort during driving. It is a single-use, non-washable panel shipped in a protective box and sized to Tesla's factory dimensions for proper fit and airflow.

How does this filter fit my Tesla Model S and where is it located?

This A-Premium filter is designed for Tesla Model S vehicles built from 5/2016 through 2023 and matches the OEM replacement reference 1059333. Note that Tesla locates this cabin filter under the hood, so installation access differs from glove-box filters on many other cars.

• Compatible with Tesla Model S (2016–2023, built from 5/2016)
• OEM reference numbers: PC99505HX and 1059333
• Under-hood installation — check your vehicle service manual for exact steps
• Packaged as one boxed filter for single replacement

What are the physical specs and materials of the filter?

The A-Premium unit is a multi-layer panel filter sized to Tesla's specified dimensions and includes an activated carbon layer for improved odor and gaseous trapping. It is a non-reusable, non-washable component—replace rather than attempt cleaning.

• Length: 27.32–27.56 inches; Width: 13.86–14.09 inches; Height: 1.18 inch
• Construction: multi-layer media with activated carbon layer
• Washable/Reusable: No — designed for single use and disposal
• Package: 1 filter per box, ready for installation

How will this filter affect in-cabin air quality and comfort?

The filter's layered media captures particulates such as dust and pollen while the activated carbon adsorbs some odors and volatile molecules, improving perceived air freshness inside the car. It helps maintain clean HVAC airflow without changing the vehicle's design or performance.

• High-efficiency multi-layer media reduces airborne particulates
• Activated carbon layer helps reduce common odors and some VOCs
• Preserves HVAC airflow and system function when replaced on schedule
• Recommended service interval: about every 12 months or 12,000 miles

What should I know about installation and maintenance?

Because the filter sits under the hood, installation can be different from cabin-located filters and may require basic hand tools and vehicle access steps. The filter is not serviceable; replace with a new A-Premium unit at the intervals recommended by Tesla or when you notice reduced airflow or odors.

• Refer to Tesla service guidance for under-hood cabin filter replacement steps
• Do not attempt to wash or reuse the filter media
• Replace annually or roughly every 12,000 miles depending on driving conditions
• Dispose of used filters according to local regulations

Who is this for? This A-Premium activated carbon cabin air filter is aimed at Tesla Model S owners (built from May 2016 through 2023) who want a direct-fit, economical replacement that restores factory airflow and reduces dust, pollen, and light odors. It’s a good choice for DIY drivers comfortable accessing the under-hood filter location, fleet managers maintaining multiple vehicles, or anyone looking for a cost-effective alternative to OEM filters without changing vehicle performance. Replace the unit on a regular schedule to maintain cabin comfort and HVAC efficiency.
