Running without TPMS

[Daskid]

I know that this is an unpopular opinion, but I’d like to run aftermarket wheels without TPMS. I plan to run 2 aftermarket wheel sets and keep the stockers. I know they’re cheap nowadays and cheap to have installed. But TPMS is something I can live without. Anybody knows if the model 3 will not like running without TPMS?

Thanks!

It will probably give you a warning, I doubt much more but I’m not 100% sure.

Why not spend the $100 for four universal sensors and have the forum member (can’t remember his name) program them for $25? Doesn’t seem too bad considering it can give you an early warning to a tire leak.

The warning I am ok with. But I read some cars disable features as it is a safety issue when running on low tire pressures. Not sure if it’s the same with the model 3. I am considering just buying them and get it over with but just wanted to get educated on this. Thanks!

You'll have a persistent message on the screen that won't go away. Other than that, I don't think anything else will happen. I drove around for probably 50 miles trying unsuccessfully to get a set of TPMS to register, the warning is all that I saw.

Good to know! Thanks!
