Tesla Model 3 Tire Pressure Sensors Messed Up With New Non-Tesla Tires – CleanTechnica

I just recently had the tires on my Tesla Model 3 altered. As I composed, I had a third-party tire store get the job done this time rather of Tesla, who I utilized the very first time I needed to alter my tires, because that was more affordable (about $600 less expensive).

As far as I can inform, it was an excellent choice. The tires appear great, the driving is excellent, and I hope they will last a long period of time.

As you can see from the title, nevertheless, it wasn’t 100% smooth and simple. There were concerns with something — the tire pressure sensing units. Right after I repelled, I saw that the front right tire revealed extremely low tire pressure. I headed back to the store to have them examine it out. They informed me I required to drive around on it more and it would reset and reveal properly. I drove for about an hour and the issue continued. That didn’t work, and after that on my method back to the store, the front right tire suddenly revealed the appropriate pressure … however the back left tire pressure was then far too low.

When I returned to the store, they stated the tire pressure in all 4 tires was certainly appropriate and it was simply an issue with the sensing units. They had me do some resets on the touchscreen and drive around some more. It didn’t assist. Then the mechanic stated that the sensing units simply required changed and I’d need to have Tesla do that. I wasn’t pleased with the evaluation, or a minimum of desired a consultation, so I had him take me over to the head guy. The supervisor stated that he might resolve the issue however required to generate another computer system to do it. So, I required to return on Friday.

I brought it back in with a bit more hope. The supervisor had actually shown he had actually done this a week or more before with another Tesla. He reset the sensing units and by hand put them at the best pressure, it appears. All excellent? Well, apparently all excellent, however I saw that a person thing had actually altered.

If you looked thoroughly there, or simply have hawk eyes, you can see that what when stated “Recommended Pressure” now states “Customized Pressure.” I presume that what the service technician did was simply by hand bypass the tire pressure target. Is there any issue with this? I presume not, however it’s note precisely the like resetting the sensing units “correctly.” (And, yes, the “color” of my cars and truck modifications rather regularly — my children like altering that.)

Do you readers have anymore insight on this? Have you had comparable experiences when having your tires altered from a non-Tesla tire location? Are you familiar with any issues having the “Recommended Pressure” overridden and altered to a “Customized Pressure?”
