CT always on? Safety/Power Off/Off; Bluetooth Off, Tesla App Off: still get an alert.

[MyFirstElectricTesla]

To test the DeWalt inflator TYPE II and 2 AH battery I just bought I turned off everything like in the title. Then I deflated the left front tire down to 4 PSI: got an alert the air pressure in front left tire is very low from Tesla. So the CT never sleeps no matter what I do, right?

BTW, from 4 PSI to 57 PSI took 25 minutes using DeWalt inflator TYPE II with 2 AH. There's still 2 bars left from fully charged. Is there a faster way to deflate PSI?

It takes it awhile to go to sleep. And even asleep, it's going to check systems from time to time.

My Zero is super-dumb but when off, it's still checking the battery. And after not being turned on for like 30 days, it'll go into an even deeper sleep.

Most EVs do steps like this. Especially ones that call home; they check on things in a slower and slower cycle.

There are parts of the vehicle that never turn off. It's like your phone, the power button that is on the side doesn't control power, the processor just monitors it and wakes the phone up.

For a faster way to deflate, you would need to remove the 'core' from the valve stem... They make a tool to do that, but most folks wouldn't even need to deflate them that much... Usually, if you are deflating for off road use, you're going to deflate about 10-20 lbs (for CTs) and only if you REALLY think you're going to need it... But I wouldn't go down to 4 lbs... might damage the tire or bead if it's still on the truck and the truck is on the ground...
