Tyre pressures ?

[mnobleuk]

Where can I find them now ?

I've pressed every button on the d*mn screen, read the online manual and posts on here.

What am I missing ? (apart from a level of intelligence )

It's in the car menu, under service I believe.

Thats what the manual says and I tried that but no joy !

Do you not see a car silhouette at the top of that menu? The numbers will show besides each wheel. Obviously you need to drive a bit so the sensors wake up and start sending values.

Model Y:​

Displaying Tire Pressures​

Display tire pressures on the touchscreen by touching Controls > Service. The pressure of each tire displays in the visualization of your Model Y. You can choose whether you want to display tire pressures using Bar or PSI by touching Controls > Display > Tire Pressure.

This is what I see ?

You are not moving. Drive the car and they will appear. The sensors turn off when the car is stationary to save the battery.

Seriously ?

That's kinda illogical - if only there was a way to store the last reading so you didn't have to hoke through screens while driving lol.

Thanks for the reply - I'll try it next time I'm out.

OK I missed the main point of your message - what I *read* was once you've been driving the numbers will appear, what you *wrote* was *while* you are driving the numbers will appear.

Welcome to V11 ... I have to admit I had the same struggle with that change ... the tyre pressure card and the odometers and consumption cards are sadly missed.

If you are subscribed to TeslaFi, you will get your latest known pressures:

Same with Tessie.

If you think about it, just showing you the pressures from yesterday or whenever you last drove it isn't going to be much use if you have a slow puncture and overnight you have a flat.

So have it display for 5 mins or so after you "switch off"

I think it does. I've seen it when stopped.

Additionally, if you can only see it when drving or soon after stopped, they won't be the "cold" tyre pressures, something to bear in mind.

If the purpose of not showing tyre pressure is to preserve the battery, then the simple solution is to show it only on request. This would solve the problem of getting a cold reading!

I think the wheels need to be rolling for the TPMS to calibrate and register a pressure ... so nearest you would get to a cold(ish) pressure will be a couple of minutes after setting off.

 

[GtiMart]

Right. It's the sensors that shut off to preserve their batteries, in the wheels. Being shut down, you cannot wake them remotely. A movement sensor in them is what wakes them I believe.

That would be worse, it would mean the wheel sensors need to be on all the time and be receivers to hear a request. As it is they are just transmitters, sending out their pressure every x seconds but stop/turn off when they become stationary after so many minutes.
