Tesla currently has only 16 service centers across the country, located in Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xi’an and Chengdu. For those special friends who do not use cars in these cities, repairs and maintenance are more troublesome. Although Tesla needs a long maintenance cycle, the air conditioning compartment is easily dirty due to the current poor air in China and the dirty city. It is not cost-effective to run dozens or even hundreds, thousands of kilometers in order to replace one air conditioner compartment, so today, let us do it ourselves!
Key points: My car does not have an exclusive upgrade kit, so there is no HEPA air filtration system!

Tools needed: T20 screwdriver and a pry board. You can buy MAN CUK 2620 for air conditioners. The Model S is common to the 2009 Koleo 2.5L, Nissan Qaike and Qijun.

First, use a pry board to pry open this panel and pull it hard. There are metal buckles inside, so there will be no problem pulling out. Don’t worry about pulling it!

This is the disassembled look. It was taken in the garage. The light is not good, so everyone will just watch!

Metal buckles, please take a look

The small board next to it must also be removed. Just pry it with a pry board and pull it hard.

This rectangular board is the board under the glove box and must also be removed. The method is the same, just pull hard, it’s all metal snaps

The T20 screwdriver will be used next. There are 6 screws in total, 3 on each side. One of them is very hidden. Let’s focus on it below.

The screws below, one on each side, which is deeper, and find it slowly

This is the screw. Under it, you must open the glove box to remove it. The position is in the middle under the glove box. Take your time!

Remove the glove box and take it out. Pay attention to the three wires connected in the upper left corner, so don’t break it!

After living slowly for so long, I finally saw the box in the air-conditioning compartment. The hard work paid off!

There is a clip on the right. Hold it up and down, and then pull it out to open the cover

Finally saw it!!

Tesla’s number, pay attention to the air flow logo, the new air conditioning compartment must be placed in this direction!! The new air conditioning compartment must be placed in this direction!! The new air conditioning compartment must be placed in this direction!!

20,000 kilometers, it’s not too dirty!!! It is recommended that cities with poor air should change the 10,000 yuan for the sake of health! It’s so dirty, and I also found 3 mouse droppings!!

Put the new one in, pay attention to the air flow arrow downward! Careful comparison of the air conditioning compartment, it is exactly the same! Everyone can buy with confidence!

Compare!
After correcting, follow the dismantling steps and install everything step by step. Done! Enjoy the thrill of fresh air!!
