Is there a substitute TPMS tool???

[TOBASH]

Tesla not selling the TPMS programming tool anymore and my dealership does not have one.

Are there any options to program my car other than riding without sensors?

Is there an aftermarket programming tool? Who made the Tesla tool???

Best...

I believe Mt. Kisco has one, which is probably your best bet..?

If anyone is curious, here is the info about it from last year.
Tesla part number: 1013547-00-A
Description: TOOL, TPMS, ROADSTER and MODEL S
Status: Distribution

If you have the 1.5 just drive it 20 miles. If a 2.x I do not know

The Tesla ranger just programmed my TPMS in about 5 min with a tool that looks very similar to the one posted above.

Tesla should just start making and/or selling them again. I'll bet they would sell like hot cakes?

This worked for me. I put on 19" TSTs with new TPMS, and reset the TPMS from the touchscreen and drove a few miles until I got the "your system is all set" message. No programming necessary.

Don't know about v2 TPMS.

My money is on @HankLloydRight being a Model S owner who mistakenly posted in the Roadster section..

Oh crap that's twice in one week. Very sorry.

Has anyone been able to reset their TPMS without going to the SC? I'm beginning to regret not going in on the group buy we had a few years ago :-(

So, I called our local Tires Plus (who just installed the sensors and tires) and it turns out that their Snap-On 3 Series TPMS tool has an entry for the Tesla Roadster. The manager read me the directions and they sound familiar so I am going to give it a shot this evening on my way home from work... Fingers crossed!

I think you'll need the tool.

Sure enough, the Tires Plus (Snap On) tool didn't work

FYI: See here for the new substitute tool:

Roadster 2.x TPMS Tool

Note a tool is not needed for the 1.5s. They sync up after some 25 miles of driving.

Hi All,

A follow up note to @markwj and @dhrivnak posts...

The new K-line tool add-on for the OVMS3 is for Roadsters with the Baolong TPMS system.

According to my records this is US cars with VINs 0501 and higher...

There is also new support in the OVMS3 for early Model S with the Baolong system...

In other words the 2.0 and 2.5 models.
The 1.5s were VINs 1-500

So the 1.5's are to VIN 500. So that makes sense as 501 marks the first 2.0 car. And one of the things they did to cut the costs was put in the cheaper TPMS.

Yes. This new OVMS system is only for 2.x cars (VIN 501 and onwards).

Might be worth reaching out to @CM_007. Carl had some challenges with a new tool that he bought getting the car to sync with my new TPMS when I got new tires. Not 100% sure what the solution was, but he eventually figured it out. He might have some thoughts to share.
