Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, tire inflator or air compressor, and a torque wrench (if removing tires).
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure
  1. Remove the valve caps from each tire.
  2. Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the current pressure in each tire.
  3. If any tire is below the recommended pressure:
    • Connect the tire inflator or air compressor to the tire valve.
    • Inflate the tire to match the recommended pressure.
    • Recheck the pressure with the tire gauge to confirm.
  4. Replace the valve caps securely after adjustments.
3. Inspect Tires
  1. Visually examine each tire for signs of damage, such as cuts, punctures, or bulges.
  2. If any tire is damaged, consider replacing it.
  3. Check for foreign objects lodged in the tire tread and remove them if present.
4. Reset TPMS (if necessary)
  1. If the warning persists after adjusting tire pressure:
    • Access the Tesla touchscreen and navigate to the "Service" menu.
    • Select "Reset TPMS" to recalibrate the monitoring system.
  2. Confirm that the reset is successful and monitor for any persistent warnings.
