How do I check the tire pressure on a Tesla Model S?

I bought a Tesla Model S several months back and haven’t checked the tires since I got it. The warning light hasn't come on, but I want to ensure they’re correctly inflated. How do I check the tire pressure on the Model S?

Like most vehicles, Tesla doesn’t have individual pressure sensors in each tire. To check the tire pressure on a Tesla Model S, remove the valve cap and firmly press a tire pressure gauge onto the valve to measure the pressure. The optimal pressure for your model is displayed on the Tire Information label on the driver’s center door pillar.
Properly inflated tires are important for more than just performance. They’re essential for:
  • Optimal fuel economy
  • Safety
  • Handling
  • Blowout prevention
  • Braking
On top of ensuring the tires on your Tesla are appropriately inflated, also consider upgrading your
