Using Tire Chains
Tesla has tested and approved the following
tire chains to increase traction in snowy
conditions. Tire chains should only be installed
on the rear tires.
Tire Size Recommended
Chain
18" PEWAG SERVO
SPORT RSS 76
19" PEWAG SERVO RS

Caution: If your Model 3 is equipped with
aero covers, you must remove them
before installing tire chains (see
Removing and Installing Aero Covers on
page 115). Failure to do so can cause
damage not covered by the warranty.
When installing tire chains, follow the
instructions provided by the tire chain
manufacturer. Mount them as tightly as
possible.
When using tire chains:
Drive slowly. Do not exceed 30 mph
(48 km/h).
Avoid heavily loading Model 3 (heavy
loads can reduce the clearance between
the tires and the body).
Remove the tire chains as soon as
conditions allow.
Note: Tire chains are prohibited in some
jurisdictions. Check local laws before installing
tire chains.
Caution:
Using non-recommended tire
chains, or using tire chains on other sized
tires can damage the suspension, body,
wheels, and/or brake lines. Damage
caused by using non-recommended tire
chains is not covered by the warranty.
Caution: Do not use tire chains on the
front tires.
Caution: Ensure that the tire chains
cannot touch suspension components or
brake lines. If you hear the chains making
unusual noises that would indicate
contact with Model 3, stop and
investigate immediately.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
Each tire should be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the recommended
pressures that are printed on the Tire and
Loading Information label located on the
driver’s door pillar (see Maintaining Tire
Pressures on page 113). If your vehicle has tires
of a dierent size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure
label, determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a TPMS that displays a
tire pressure telltale (Tire Pressure Warning)
on the touchscreen when one or more of your
tires is
significantly under- or over-inflated.
Accordingly, when the Tire Pressure indicator
light displays on the touchscreen to alert you
about tire pressure, stop and check your tires
as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the
proper pressure (see Maintaining Tire
Pressures on page 113). Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire
to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-
inflation
also reduces range eciency and tire
tread life, and may aect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability.
If Model 3 detects a fault with the
TPMS, this indicator flashes for one
minute whenever you power on
Model 3.
Note: Installing accessories that are not
approved by Tesla can interfere with the
TPMS.
Warning:
The TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, including
manually checking tire pressures and
regularly inspecting the condition of tires.
It is the driver's responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, even if under- or
over-inflation has not reached the level
for the TPMS to trigger the Tire Pressure
Warning on the touchscreen.
Automatic Resetting of TPMS Sensors
After replacing one or more wheels (but not
after replacing a tire or rotating wheels), the
TPMS sensors are reset to ensure tire pressure
warnings are accurate. TPMS sensors reset
automatically after driving over 15 mph
(25 km/h) for longer than 10 minutes.
Note: After replacing a wheel, false tire
pressure warnings may display before you've
