Syncing New TPMS Sensors and Purchasing Tesla Parts

[TheInstitute]

Hey, I'm planning to buy new TPMS sensors for my Model S from Tire Rack and was wondering if the car will automatically sync with them through the settings menu, or if I'll need to visit a Tesla Service Center for syncing. Also, has there been any update on Tesla allowing owners to purchase parts directly?

I recently swapped out my Model S's TPMS sensors with ones from Tire Rack. The car recognized them automatically after driving above 20 mph for a minute or so. No need for a service center visit. As for purchasing parts directly from Tesla, they've made some available through their online shop, but it's a bit limited. For specific components, you might still need to go through a service appointment. Don't rush this, you know Teslas are a bit finnicky with mods.

AFAIK, Tesla's TPMS system is weird. You can buy sensors from Tire Rack, but you'll probably need to take it to a Tesla service center to get them installed and working.

You don't need to visit a Tesla Service. You can do the sync through the settings menu. Or you should have a button specifically for this job.
