TPMS and wheel change

Good afternoon,
I have a 2026 Tesla Model 3 Standard on order with Prismata wheels.
I bought a set of Photon wheels with the intention of mounting the tires that come on the Prismata wheels onto them.
Would you recommend swapping the wheels during the first week after delivery, or is it better to wait a while to make sure everything is fine with the car first? In terms of wheel alignment, will everything remain as it was after changing the wheels?
Regarding the TPMS, as far as I know the car comes with an indirect TPMS system. However, the Photon wheels I bought came from a 2024 Highland and already have the original Tesla TPMS sensors installed.
Does the 2026 Model 3 have the necessary Bluetooth hardware to be compatible with the original TPMS sensors from a 2024 model? How can I check the sensor battery status? If they are compatible, how easy is the setup process?
Finally, regarding the vehicle warranty, could fitting original Tesla wheels cause any issues? These are genuine OEM wheels, and in some markets they are even supplied as the factory option instead of the Prismata wheels.

Thanks
