The TPMS warning came on when I was stuck in traffic and then when I was able to get somewhere to park and look at my tires, I could not see that any of them were actually "flat" so I decided to go to the Service Center and have my first tire rotation. I figured that the guys at the SC would rotate my tires, add some air and I would be good to go. So I apparently ran over a small nail somewhere around 7,700 miles. This caused a slow leak. It was far enough from the sidewall that it could be patched, but the SC doesn't patch tires. Took care of that later in the afternoon at a regular tire store, no problem.
My bigger issue is (after my V6.1 Software has installed), I realized that the TPMS was telling me that my tire pressure was low and that I need to "check tire pressure" but it did not tell me which tire was low. WHY THE HELL NOT! If the system can detect that a tire is low, why not tell me which one it is. I don't carry a tire gauge in my car, so how the hell am I supposed to pull over and check my pressure. I have the emergency tire repair kit, but who wants to use that.
This seems like a simple fix, anyone know how to get this question to Tesla and/or why it can't be included in the next software "upgrade?" Just saying.:wink:
