Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor, and potentially a jack and jack stands for tire inspection.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure
  1. Remove Valve Caps: Unscrew the valve caps from each tire.
  2. Measure Pressure: Use a tire pressure gauge to check the current pressure of each tire.
  3. Inflate Tires: If any tire is below the recommended pressure:
    • Attach the air compressor nozzle to the valve stem.
    • Inflate the tire to the recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) as noted on the vehicle's placard.
  4. Re-check Pressure: After inflating, re-measure the tire pressure to ensure it meets specifications.
  5. Replace Valve Caps: After adjustments, securely replace the valve caps on each tire.
3. Reset Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
  1. Access Vehicle Settings: On the Tesla touchscreen, navigate to 'Service' > 'Tire Pressure'.
  2. Reset TPMS: Follow on-screen instructions to reset the tire pressure monitoring system, ensuring it reflects the new pressures.
