I guess I don't really understand. I've carried a hand gauge and compressor pump in every car I've owned. Tire pressure goes up and down with temp (ambient & driving) and pressure (altitude). I routinely manually check the pressure before EVERY out of town trip and adjust it (UP and DOWN) depending on conditions. Why should a Tesla with pressure sensors be any different? Is this thing so advanced that it automatically fills or releases pressure in real-time?
FYI, I picked up a slow leak in one of the tires on a 1000 mi trip last Spring, noticed it, and kept driving without problems. However, I did increase my checking and adjustments to every other day. This is just a prudent habit that I learned from family members (along with carrying water, food, extra clothes, blankets, tools, work gloves, cardboard, tarp, flares, tire chains, etc.). All this comes from the days before cellphones, rest areas, and long distances between towns. Even good habits are sometimes hard to change.
