Driving without TPMS

[joesmithf1]

Hi All,

Just got some new Vossen HF-3, and swapped out Tesla's OEM TMPS into the new wheels. However, i kept the OEM wheels, so i can use them maybe for long road trip or whatever. Will there be any issue if i drive without TMPS? I mean, will it mess up anything(systems or technical), or if the car will stop running because it see low pressure warning?

thank you!

...will it mess up anything(systems or technical), or if the car will stop running because it see low pressure warning?...

I don't think it would mess up your car because it's just a warning system without a mandatory penalty of stopping your car until fixed.

Oh my God, the wheels will fall off
Ok, that's a stretch. It won't affect your ability to use the car in any way.

Does it display an alert message or warning light if there are no signals from the TPMS?

Yes. No signals mean yes to the alert.

Hi @joesmithf1 ,

TPMS sensors Alligator 590883 are available for $27 each from Amazon-Tire Supply Network-Discount Tire...

They are easily programmed by the tire shop...

You may wish to endure the messages, but it's not that expensive to add the sensors...

Good luck,

Shawn

Do I have to put the ones with Bluetooth TPMS with the 2021 MODEL 3? or a regular tmps would work too? (without having the annoying alert display)

2021 post refresh is bluetooth I think.
Can someone describe what the error message/alert looks like? Is it on all the time and blocking other features? Any noises? Thanks!
