Set without TPMS Model 3, and Model Y Standard (no pressure displayed on the car's screen or in the app)

TPMS Pressure Sensors: Your Tesla Does she need it ?

Tesla now comes with certain versions of the Model Y and the Model 3 an "indirect" tire pressure monitoring system: no sensors are installed in the tires; underinflation is detected using the rotation speed sensors already installed on the vehicle. On these cars, adding TPMS sensors to a second set of wheels offers no benefit. This option allows you to order your set of wheels or alloy wheels without sensors, and to avoid buying parts that are no longer needed for your vehicle.

Direct TPMS and Indirect TPMS: What Are the Differences ?

Both systems fulfill the same regulatory requirement—to alert you in the event of low tire pressure—but they do not work the same way and do not display the same information.

Compatibility

The option without TPMS sensors is scheduled for the Tesla equipped with an indirect monitoring system—that is, they do not have individual tire pressure sensors. These are currently the versions Standard recent developments in the Model Y and the Model 3, but the trim level and model year alone aren't enough to make a decision: the only reliable way to check is on your vehicle's display. Before placing an order, we therefore recommend that you perform the test described above.

What does this option include ?

• Your order is being prepared without TPMS pressure sensors, mounted and balanced for your vehicle.
• You avoid buying sensors that your system wouldn't read or use Tesla.
• You'll receive a kit that's already configured for your car and ready to install.
• Your vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system continues to function normally: it does not depend on the tires.

Important

This option applies only to Tesla including the screen does not display any numerical pressure reading under Checks > Maintenance. If your vehicle displays tire pressure for each tire, it uses individual sensors: in that case, select the version with TPMS sensors, otherwise a pressure monitoring failure indicator will appear after installation. If you have any questions about your configuration, please contact us before placing your order, and we will verify it with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if my Tesla Does it have pressure sensors ?

Open "Controls > Maintenance" on the touchscreen and look at the tyres. If a numerical pressure reading appears for each wheel, your vehicle is equipped with sensors. If you see only four tyres As shown in the simplified diagram, your vehicle uses the indirect system and does not have any sensors.

If there are no sensors, will I still be alerted if I get a flat tire ?

Yes. The indirect system detects low tire pressure based on the wheels' rotational speed and alerts you on the screen; the tyre The indicator turns yellow or red. It simply does not give you the exact pressure reading. For an accurate reading, use a pressure gauge during your regular checks.

Can I add sensors later to a vehicle that doesn't have a built-in TPMS ?

No. A vehicle equipped with the indirect system is not designed to read sensors installed in the wheels: any added sensors would not be recognized by the car. That is precisely the purpose of this option.

What should I do after installing my second set of wheels ?

Update the wheel configuration for your vehicle under Controls > Maintenance > Alloy wheels and tires > Wheels, selecting the actual size installed. This step allows the vehicle to correctly calculate the range and display the associated alerts.
