I use these on my model y with 0 issues, it's the same ones they sell on their site, just cheaper on amazon because they have to compete with other sellers.

Strange I bought these from amazon too but the price was higher. Sold by Tsportline too but the ASIN (B09XC129Y4) is different than what you bought:

Is the issue with bluetooth connection or fitment of TPMS on method 502 wheels?

The issue is with the fitment - the reports I have gotten from a couple others on this site is that there is physical interference between the valve stem and the wheel. My guess is Tesla beefed up the valve stem in their design revision, but I have not seen the issue first hand and I cannot provide any further details.
I just got my 502 method rims and tried installing these TPMS and they fit good....not sure what people were talking about here...may be they used wrong cheap ones lol
Also what are your opinions on adding spacers? I remember Lee chan was mentioning rear wheel is not flush. I ordered 20mm rear spacers from Tsportline but not feeling confident about putting them on as there are mixed opinions especially for safety concerns!

Tesla Model 3 / Y Wide Stance Black Anodized Billet Aluminum Spacer Set (Set of 2)
Freshen the stance of your Tesla Model 3 and Y with our Wide Stance Billet Spacers. The factory wheel fitment on Model 3 / Y rear wheels is notably inboard (sunken deep into the wheel wheel), creating a void between the outer edge of the rear wheels and tires, and the rear fender. Our Wide...

Guys, this is not how the suspension of the Model 3/Y works. The example above is for a classic truck suspension design, which uses a separate outboard-mounted bump stop.
With most sedans (and the 3/Y) the bump stop is built into the damper. This is also one of the reasons we include spacers to lower the rear damper down - to properly engage the bump stop and prevent coil bind, but also to increase droop travel to match the new ride height.
I would suggest removing that video as it is misleading and irrelevant.
A friendly reminder to those on the internet (including you @lonsomecrow), please don't post like you're an expert if you're not
How can you know? Well, if you haven't been working in suspension design as your primary profession for the past 5+ years, you're almost certainly not an expert.

I just posted this information for discussion. If you’d mentioned in more details in your website about how these spacers are designed to not cause any issues, it would’ve been better.
Its good have opinions and discussions when it comes your safety!
Good idea, we can update the website to indicate that the bump stops still work in the same way as OEM. Thanks for the feedback!
you got those A\T tires but the car is too nice to drive anywhere
