Per another thread, I've heard this doesn't remedy the issue. I just received this alert after swapping my rears due to low tread (which I was aware of). Notably, after the new tires were installed, I went through the tire tread uneven wear and tire tread too low right off the rip.For staggered tires, does resetting the tire configuration eventually make the message go away?
From Manual:
Wheel Configuration
If you are installing new wheels or swapping them for different ones, update your vehicle's wheel configuration by touching Controls > Service > Wheel Configuration. This allows Model 3 to learn the new wheels and provide more accurate status updates on your vehicle. Select a wheel from the drop down menu that matches the new wheels you plan to install on Model 3. Selecting new wheels in the wheel configuration also changes the wheels that appear on your vehicle's avatar on the touchscreen.
Ensure you are aware if your vehicle is equipped with staggered wheels, meaning the wheels are different sizes in the front and rear. Check the front and rear tire sizes marked on the tire sidewall to see if they match or are different sizes. If the wheels are staggered, take extra precaution to ensure the new wheels you install are staggered in the same way as the previous wheels.
I'll be trying the re-configuration and resets after work, but I feel like this is basically a software issues as others have pointed out. It may be intuitive to set your software to Advanced to get the greatest and latest, but at your own risk.
