• Although drops in tire pressure are expected in colder weather, air should still be added to
maintain the recommended cold tire pressure.
• The alert may clear as the vehicle is driven. This is because the tires will warm up and the
tire pressure will increase.
◦ Even if the alert clears, the tires should still be refilled with air once they have cooled.
For the best experience with your vehicle, the recommended cold tire pressure should
be maintained at all times.
The alert should clear once the Tire Pressure Monitoring System detects that each of your tires
is inflated to the recommended cold pressure.
• The alert and Tire Pressure indicator light may still be present immediately after you have
filled your tires to the recommended cold pressure, but both should clear once you have
driven a short distance.
•
You may need to drive over 15 mph (25 km/h) for at least 10 minutes for the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System to measure and report your updated tire pressures.
If you repeatedly see this alert for the same tire, have the tire inspected for a slow leak. You can
visit a local tire shop or schedule service using your Tesla Mobile App.
For more information on tire pressure and inflation, see Tire Care and Maintenance on page 191.

Air pressure in tires very low
PULL OVER SAFELY - Check for flat tire
This alert indicates that one or more of the tires on your vehicle is extremely low or flat.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has detected that the air pressure in one or more of
your tires is
significantly lower than the recommended cold pressure (RCP). This recommended
pressure is displayed on the Tire and Loading information label.
You should pull over carefully as soon as possible. In a safe location, check for a flat tire.
You can request Tesla roadside assistance options (mobile tire, loaner wheel, tow) if required.
See
Contacting Tesla Roadside Assistance on page 223 for more information.
In a non-emergency situation, it is recommended that you visit your local Service Center for
assistance.
See Maintaining Tire Pressures on page 191 for detailed information on how to keep the tires
properly inflated.
The alert should clear once the Tire Pressure Monitoring System has a consistent tire pressure
measurement for each of your tires of at least 30 psi.
• The alert and Tire Pressure indicator light may still be present immediately after you have
filled your tires to the recommended cold pressure, but both should clear once you have
driven a short distance.
• You may need to drive over 15 mph (25 km/h) for at least 10 minutes for the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System to measure and report your updated tire pressures.

Maintenance on page 191.
