Still grasping at straws to criticize a feature, eh?

Tesla App V4.12.0 Adds Tire Pressure

The tire pressure sensors only work when you’re driving. They go to sleep when the car isn’t moving to save battery so it doesn’t matter if you check from the app or from the car, the most recent pressure info you can get is from right before you last parked.
That was the point of my response to @Randy-12; he was criticizing the app for a shortcoming that is intrinsic to the sensors and has nothing to do with the app.
Ok, cool. I wasn't aware of that. It seemed strange because I was running some errands and my tire pressure seemed to be ok. Went into the store and when i got into the car, I was alarmed that my tire pressure was low and to not drive. So I stayed there and sure enough, had a hole in the corner of the tire. It must of happened pulling into the parking lot and I didnt notice when I stopped.
Got my x.24.5 update this morning, and now I've got tire pressure on the OEM app, very cool.
24.5 has some nice improvements!

Has the car driven since the updates? The sensors need the wheels to be rotating above 15 mph for a bit to activate.
Not yet! Thanks, will try
I had to toggle mine on, it was off initially.
When you go into Controls, there's a small icon at the top right (easy to miss), mine indicates PSI (since that's my setting), tap that and you'll see the pressure / last time read next to each corner
FYI, I moved our M3P from the garage into the driveway, like 20 feet, car sat for a couple of hours. Then I backed it back into the garage, and my tire pressure is showing 2 hours ago as the last reported pressure.
So it must not take much movement and my pressure is definitely "cold" given it was driven like 30 seconds.
I have a '21 with the new TPS design, just in case there's any difference.
Tesla may have pulled the latest iPhone firmware due to this problem discussed in the following thread?
What Causes this [12V] Charging Profile
I've been monitoring my 12 volt charging profile daily and it has been quite stable since installed a DiehardEV battery about a month ago. No notifications active or historical in the car. Here is a sample of typical charging. Today, I noticed this charge profile: Never seen this before...

Perhaps like yourself, in the past I rarely cared about tire pressures as I checked them manually about once a month anyway to compensate for seasonal temp changes adding air as needed. I noticed though since buying vehicles that have no spare tires that I check the apps or in-car displays much more frequently for two reasons: normal seasonal temp changes, and potential slow leaks. I’ve had one of the latter in my Model 3 and found the displayed information useful. The “no spare tire” thing concerns me perhaps more than it should.

Ah, yes. There seems to be a bug. Im on Android, but it still can be an issue. ThanksTesla may have pulled the latest iPhone firmware due to this problem discussed in the following thread?

Do you have V4.12 of the app?
Mine was also toggled off, you have to tap this icon:

Just now I updated the app (on the iphone itself). Of course the key to see this data on your phone or iPad is having the updated device app, not the software update in the car. But, the App Store at first didn’t offer an app update. About a day after, the App Store showed an update was availabl. Thanks for the info.
