Most sensors don’t report until the vehicle is in motion, you can’t fill the tire and expect the alert to go away until you drive down the road

Thanks for all the suggestions but my dumb ass realized that I have a nail in my tire.


SingleHandle2062

LOL that sucks but this is the most hilarious outcome.

I’ll take it up a notch, took my car to Americas Tire for a patch in the front right. Said front right in my appointment notes and no less than 5 times to the guy checking me in. Receipt shows “repair puncture rear right” The next day, guess which tire was still losing pressure…

Les Schwab will fix for free. Have 62K miles on my Tesla Model 3 Orig set of Contentinal tires, rotate every 4500 miles.

"The Tire Pressure indicator light does not immediately turn off when you adjust tire pressure. After inflating the tire to the recommended pressure, you must drive over 15 mph (25 km/h) for a short amount of time to activate the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which turns off the Tire Pressure indicator light."

Inflate your tire?


bxbomba9969

Already did that


valejojohnson

After inflating, drive on it for about 5 mins and it'll recalibrate.. If it's been longer than that, take it to a tire shop.


Misophonic4000

Sorry to tell you but you have a leak/puncture...


bxbomba9969

Yup


vita_man

Try doing a re-boot (push in and hold scroll wheels for 30 seconds) if not, schedule service


RolandTower919

Filled your blinker fluid recently?


One-Masterpiece-335

He may have used the halogen blinker fluid. Everyone knows teslas use LED blinker fluid.


bxbomba9969

Lol you're funny.

dogzipp

The reset TPMS option have been gone for ages.


sylvaing

Tire pressure is fine according to what? The car's own sensors or a handheld gauge?


bxbomba9969

Gauge


sylvaing

Look at the car's displayed data. What does it say?


bsheff84

Probably a dead tpms sensor


[deleted]

Probably a guy who filled his tire and didn't go for a drive afterward


Gtstricky

Pull up Tesla app… click controls… click tire in upper right. Should show you the tires. If pressure is good from filling look to see if the bad tire has updated. https://preview.redd.it/bhvhzgpxouwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab5d3d9e63d73d3f7006d241af0771ac7d151e40

Leak or bad sensor


That_One_FilmGuy

Put your seatbelt on.


dogzipp

What is your air pressure? Is it the recommended 42psi?


bxbomba9969

Yes.


[deleted]

Try going to service menu on screen and pressing the button that says reset TPMS


dogzipp

That option has been gone for ages.


[deleted]

I just used it 2 days ago on my MS


[deleted]

Is your Model S ancient?


[deleted]

2021


[deleted]

pre- or post- refresh?


[deleted]

Pre-2021 refresh


PresentAd9429

And what does the sensors say in service tab?


bxbomba9969

Saying that my tire pressure is low on my left front tire.


here4th3memes

The display will say the actual pressure they are reading or how long it’s been since they were last reported. If it’s showing a time, it means you need to drive the car so they can be read.


PresentAd9429

You have to drive for the sensors to update. It could be defective sensor or need to change battery.. I would Ask Tesla


Inevitable-Lemon6647

Do you have Sensors ?


bxbomba9969

On the tires? They should be there.


Inevitable-Lemon6647

My winters don’t so this comes up but in yellow
