Aftermarket TPMS?

Same. They were labeled as tesla oem parts and have been in my winter tires all winter. I had discount tire assemble, balance and install the wheels, tires and sensors. Works perfect so far.

There are Original Tesla sensors on eBay for ~$130 new. $20 is hard to beat though, I didn't know of any aftermarkets that were in that range yet. Autel has a BT sensor now, but it's in the $60-70 range.
I personally wouldn't get knock off TPMS sensors. A friend owns a tire shop and the number one cause of flats at his shop is not punctures, its TPMS sensors that develop air leaks.

Do you think they are genuine but perhaps "gray market?"
Yeah, the TPMS sensors that develop air leaks, at least in my experience, are from road salt corroding everything. Which no sensor would be immune to, aftermarket or genuine. When torqued properly, a cheap knockoff sensor usually seals no different than an expensive OE one.
Beware of replica "Tesla" branded bluetooth sensors out there.
We've had samples from certain suppliers that sells knockoffs even though they claim as genuine OEM.
Maybe they function the same, maybe they don't. (If so, for how long?) Regardless, we refuse to sell knockoff/replica products.
Small visual differences, but hopefully this can help you guys spot the differences:
Lastly, if any of the sensors we sell malfunctions within a reasonable time frame, we'll send you a replacement right away.

Hi All, I am new to the forum. I tried searching on Amazon for the TSportline with no luck, can you provide me more info, interested in getting these.

Just get these, myself and my friend have used them with success. TSportline is wildly overpriced for non-OE.
Pretty sure the brown-box versions are gray market from Korea/China. They were the first to show up as a cheap alternative, before the fake ones started hitting eBay.

Reporting back, I mounted everything yesterday and the sensors did pair immediately. I had a small leak on the TPMS side, but that's more of a factor of my wheel than the sensor. I snugged down the collar while mounting, but after seating the tire beads the sensor must have shifted. All four collars were loose, so I readjusted and retorqued them. So far so good.
