Hi everyone, we have a 2017 model S 75 with the original 19” turbine wheels/rims.
I recently acquired an additional set of identical 19” rims, and plan to have snow tires installed so I can more easily/quickly swap out the wheels instead of having to swap tires on only 1 set of rims.
Both the Costco tire center & Discount Tires store in Portland refuse to sell/install their aftermarket TPMS sensors on the new rims; they said Tesla has some special system and programming the non-tesla aftermarket sensors almost never works. They recommended I buy the sensors from Tesla and then I can have either shop install the sensors & tires.
Does that sound right and does anyone know what model of continental TPMS sensor tesla uses? I can’t even find a way to order the Tpms sensors through Tesla’s app/website, so I might have to get them from a 3rd party.
Thanks for any advice you can offer!!
