I have confirmed with the local Service Center that there has been a change in the TPMS sensors. Please post any additional information here. I've asked several sources for clarification and will post their responses here as well.

I picked up my car 1 month ago. Got a small nail in the first two days with very slow leak. Sensors alerted me (but not to specific tire) when the pressure was at 30-35. Did not alert me when tire was at 37 - figured that out by checking myself.
Don't know if that helps, but thought I'd put it out there anyways.
I assume your car has the new AutoPilot sensors?
In any event -- there are plenty of cars now that have AutoPilot hardware but no software to address it -- so it's possible that the ability to read individual tires is there, but the software does not yet display it.
Funny.Glad I didn't buy a winter wheel setup for the old car and presume I could just put them on the new car with no issues.
Be so awesome if it shows actual pressure and has the ability to check via the phone application!
Funny.
If by "old car" you mean my 8 month old car which visually has the identical summer wheels and has the tpms that has been in place for 2 years or so with no changes. Perhaps when Tesla was phoning us up to ask us if we wanted winter wheels with our order they could have pointed out that the winter wheels I already have (I told them I had wheels left over from my trade in) might not be compatible. Obviously he was just a cold caller but nonetheless that would have been good to add to his script and maybe he could have changed my mind or at least sold me some sensors.
I' m not trying to cheat or cheap out. I bought the winters because I had concerns about the pirellis. Tesla would not take them with the trade in obviously so it seemed logical and safe to keep them. Come to think of it, I did ask someone at Tesla if there was anything different with the AWD and they said no. I guess technically that is true as it was introduced prior to AWD but I'm guessing the Preston I asked didn't know that TPMS had changed.

Andrew, did they give you any idea about any new functionality?
I'm unclear. Does this mean my 2012 Tesla can only use old sensors forever? I don't care if I can't get new data precise temperature/pressure, I just don't want to be stuck scrounging junkyards in 6 years because I need an "ancient" sensor that's no longer produced.Just heard from my DS. He confirmed the new , incompatible with the old, TPMS sensors. This change occurred with the auto pilot sensors. He is working on pricing for the sensors. My local SC does not have them in stock yet.
