Will 433MHz Tire Pressure Sensor work with a 2013 Model S

[Gixx1300R]

I have a set of 21 Turbines that I just purchased. They came with 433MHZ tire presure sensors. Will these work with a 2013 S P85?

Hi Gixx1300R,

The sensors and ECU on a 2013 Model S were the Baolong type.
They were 433MHZ.
So, if the batteries in those sensors are still good they should work.
On that vintage Model S with these sensors the car will need to be programmed by a Ranger
or a service center with their programming tool.
The tool will also tell the state of battery charge of the sensors.
If some of them read too low - Tesla may (rightly) recommend that you replace the bad ones...

Good luck, Shawn

Update. The Gen 2 sensors did not work. I would get the "Tire pressure system needs service, contact Tesla service"

Hi Gixx1300R,

I am sorry to hear that... I did not realize they were Gen 2 sensors or I would have said no earlier.
I am not familiar enough with the wheels to know what generation of car they come from.
Unfortunately as far as I know all Tesla sensors have always been 433 Mhz....

If your 2013 S 85 has not been SC upgraded to Continental sensors you need the old Baolong 6004985 or equal.
There may be some available here in the for sale section.

Please check with your service center to make sure of what you have... on your older wheels and tires.

First gen had different sensors that only told you if your tires were low on air. The second gen or gen2 will tell you tire pressure also. In your case. The gen2 sensors will not work properly.

no biggie, just check it as a learning experience.
