Anyone know the model Y TPMS “nut” torque?

[RenoMD]

So these are different than a typical aluminum sleeve/nut, these are plastic.... (see pic to refer to what I’m talking about). Typical torque for a metal valve stem nut/collar I have found is 35 inch lb (4 Nm). Have no idea what these require Bc they are plastic. The service rep was to busy to find out today; but, I’ll call again tomorrow. Was just curious if someone knew. I really also wanted to know in case Costco has no idea when they put these inside aftermarket wheels for snow tires

Wrist-tight is kinda rule-of-thumb with these. You don't want to screw it too tight that it may damage the rubber seal/gasket at the neck.

Sweet, that sounds good to me.

Hopefully you got this all taken care of. I don't think there's a set torque setting for the valve stem. "Wrist tight" is a good rule of thumb in this case.

So, it's not 71 in-lbs?

I just spoke with my Tesla Service tech. 8 Nm

Does anybody know where to get those nuts separately or what size they are.
