My tire light is on shows left rear in yellow. At 41 pounds but all the other tires are too. It was at 40 when I start driving and changed in pressure once got warm so its reading apparently why is it on if its changes and showing good pressure???
Are you on 19 or 21 inch tires? For 19 inch, the recommended pressure is 45 psi. It's the at-rest pressure that is when you should be at the recommended level; not after it warms up from driving.
@Nogasnohands - it is a time-honored tradition that someone posts about this. Take it in good spirit and stride, and thanks for inaugurating the winter season of posts :)
In the "old" Forum, we were able to artificially pin the lead post for the "How to use your Tesla..." thread which has info and links to explain this and a myriad of other info about the car. You have to go to page 1 of that post, but there are a lot of useful links.
Sdmd I'm actually a mechanic and I just new it had to be a malfunction being all my tires showing the same pressure but its highlight one tire as the issue but its showing same pressure as other ones so why those aren't yellow?

Yep. Just the way it behaves. Get them up to proper pressure and it will clear.

Can't right now - there's a big ass rocket booster sitting on it. :-)

It is possible that heavier cars, having larger tires, are slightly more prone to pressure fluctuations due to changing seasons.
I expect the effect to be small, a few psi at most.
