Aftermarket TPMS

From what I hear from TSportline, the model Y is using a new TMPS system, so it would not be compatible with Model 3 TMPS, and presumably the parts are not available yet from Tesla, which is why you cannot currently get aftermarket wheels and tires with TMPS for Model Y. Seems we have to either wait, or be prepared to transfer the TMPS from the wheels that came with the vehicle to your new setup.
Thanks Xray for the response. I was thinking that and you confirmed it. Maybe someone will be able to program one in the near future. Until then we'll just enjoy the tires and rims that we have.
It's still easy to go aftermarket rims, you just have to swap the TPMS sensors from your factory wheels to your new rims.
It won't be as simple as just programming them. The Model Y uses Tesla made Bluetooth sensors. (The Model 3 used Continental sensors.)
So entirely different frequencies. It will probably be a while before there are third party TPMS sensors for the Model Y. Has anyone checked with Tesla to see how expensive the sensors are from them? (I'm hoping that part of switching to an internally designed TPMS means it will be reasonably priced.)

We might have a breakthrough ladies and gents.
Since none of the Tesla Service Centers that we have contacted are selling or willing to order the OE BLE TPMS sensors (presumably $75 each), I have resorted to the below aftermarket sensors - at least for the time being until Tesla sells them to us.
I am working on a 20" wheel/tire set to replace the 21" Überturbines and I need a set of Bluetooth 2.4 GHz sensors.
The below are from eBay, ~$35-$45 for set of 4!
Was able to "activate" and make them emit temp/pressure/battery charge signal - seen in the App.
I will do some experimenting to see if the Y will detect them (that they work) before committing with PepBoys in mounting the tires with the sensors for $80.
Will let you know how it goes....
PS: I used the spray bottle pump (sensor inside) to simulate change in pressure.

Still need to have Tesla Bluetooth TPMS sensors. I tried aftermarket BLE sensor but the Y is not detecting them (I know they work because I can track them real time via Phone app).
This maybe fixed when we get the Wheel Configuration or TPMS Relearn function in future software updates. Or buy Tesla Bluetooth TPMS sensors, for now.

Update...I bought 4 black ones from Tesla. They are selling them. Avant Garde M610's on their way. Staggered 20" setup.

2400-2483.5 MHz, so like you said 2.4ghz.... we can work with that.
Wonder if these would work, I don’t have an account with this overseas merchant and the last time I tried it would work with my credit card

Is there a Bluetooth standard profile for TPMS and if so does Tesla use it? Or did they go proprietary?
The easiest way to test that is probably to load the smartphone app for the third party sensor and see if it can detect the Tesla sensors. If it can't then it is likely that their sensors won't be detected by the Model Y.
Nothing in the screen. According to the manual it takes ~15 minutes of driving over 15 MPH and it will automatically learn the new TPMS sensors. (Assuming of course they are compatible.)

They did not work, the same one I've tried - see my previous post above.
I suspect that they will work if, we can rename (copy the name of the OE sensors currently on our wheels), or if the Software has the Reset TPMS Sensors or Wheel Configuration function.
I have not found a way to "clone" my orig OE Tesla Sensors.

I pick them up on Monday at my service appointment. Need to get some panels aligned and the seats don't drop with the pull of the rear switch. Then my Homelink install is Tuesday. I'll see if there is anything on the packaging for the sensors.

I was thinking abouy that - to auto detect the Tesla TPMS (currently on my 21s) using the 3rd party app.
Tried all reset/reboot and excited on any software update (12.11.1 no TPMS Reset/Wheel Config) - still the aftermarket BLE sensors are not detected by the Y.

Daerik said on one if his video's that the bluetooth was proprietary versus the ones they were using for the M3 from Continental. I guess we will see when then add the wheel fitting to the MY like they added to the M3 when we get closer to winter. I have to believe everyone with the PUP package will have a winter setup. No way you can go the mountains or deal with inclement weather with the 21's and P Zero tires. Even us SoCal folks go skiing in the winter!! LOL.
