Spare tire installed by service center.

[The Tesla Guy]

TPMSs normally don't turn on until the wheel are turning and can take a mile before they can be read.

That was cheap for someone to go through the time to rip out the TPMS and put another stem in it to make a few dollars reselling the TPMS.

Thank you for your response.
I think you’re saying I should get the TPMS and have it installed so it’s a ready to go replacement? Or at least there’s no harm in doing so.
Don’t really know the details but my guess is they just moved TPMS to the replacements.
The wheel/tire was delivered today after I wrote this post.
Seller said it had less than 50 miles. From the looks of it… doesn’t even look like it had 1 mile.
Literally brand new without a single blemish on the tire or the wheel. Fully Inflated.

A little off-topic, but didn’t feel I needed to start a new thread…
I have a home in an area that is not covered by Tesla mobile service.
So I purchased a Cybertruck one OEM all-terrain wheel/tire on eBay with less than 50 miles on it for $600 delivered. It does not have the TPMS.
I’m assuming the seller moved it to the Wheel/tire set they replaced the factory set with. I can buy the TPMS on the Tesla online store for $95 And a local tire store will install it for ~$62
But now I’m wondering if that’s even a smart idea. As will be leaving this in my garage as adjust in case replacement Don’t know much about how TPMS sensors operate, but concerned that it will confuse my cyber truck when it’s parked close to it in the garage. As I understand it, they run on a battery that can go dead and there’s no way to turn them off. But I’m not sure it would even pair with my truck without programming it to do so.
Anybody who can provide their expertise and some advice would be much appreciated.

No more risk than picking up TPMS signals from Teslas parked next to yours, or driving next to yours.

The Tesla knows which corner each TPMS is on. When you rotate tires, you don’t need to ‘program’ them, the car figures it out.

And the batteries last a long time.
