Well I had heard that you need to reset the TPMS once you replace the tires so I wanted to get a confirmation and a solution because I live outside of core market and need to swap tires 2x per year (real winter and summer tires). So this is what I got as a reply from Tesla:
So this for me is excellent news, it means I can use the same rims with different tires with no need to reset the TPMS and if I decide to get a separate set of rims then I only need to do it once and even better it seems to be coming as a configurable thing to the 17" display
Your car will recognize the TPMS-sensors, even if you have put wintertires on the same wheels.
If you would get an extra set of wheels, then the first time you put them on your car, the TPMS-sensors will have to be programmed in a SC, but from then on they will also be recognized forever.
We are working on a software-package to let customers program their own TPMS through the touchscreen, but the exact date of that release isn’t set yet.
The Model S recognizes 8 TPMS-sensors, so you could always use 2 sets of wheels without having to reprogram TPMS.
I hope this is enough information for you, but if you have any more questions, feel free to ask us.
