TPMS info - help find the OEM manufacturer!

After doing some digging it looks like the supplier is TPMS-Africa (TPMS Fleets - TPMS Africa is the OE supplier of TPMS for TESLA & Dongfeng-Nissan)

I will do more digging to see if I can get an OEM part number instead of just a TESLA part number.

Edit: Doing a search for the FCC ID came up with this document which looks quite a lot like the TESLA unit (http://sumerco.com/IKCO%20proposal%20final.pdf)

Edit2: It looks like giving a call to Valor may be in order since they seem to be the US arm for the TPMS and do OEM applications. OEM

Looks like a company called baolong is supplying the setup using valor sensors Shanghai Baolong Automotive Corporation

Any idea if that sensor reports the actual tire pressure via CAN bus? I ask because I'm wondering if they'll ever have the pressure listed in the main display. It souls like some TPMS only report if they are high/low relative to the ranges that have been set on them, and I'm wondering if the MS sensors are like this.

I posted an answer to the same question in another thread. My assumption is that right now, it's alert-based only. A service bulletin required the service centers to reprogram the TPMS module from 39 psi to 36.5 psi, and it was done using the direct TPMS tool. If it were possible to read the pressures, my guess is that Tesla would just code the alert functionality into the car's management software and push it as a software update instead of hand-programming the TPMS unit.

They may end up getting there at some point, though... I agree it's an important functionality to have.

TPMS from Tesla Service Center is now $50 each

Those are the new, incompatible ones since around Nov 2014.

Based on that, I had Discount Tire match the $50 price for old style ones. What does Tesla charge for the old ones?
