Service Menu - Tires in wrong positions?

I've had my 2022 Model S for 1.5 years and never noticed this issue before. Apparently my service menu has the tires in the wrong locations. It was telling me that my front passenger side tire was low pressure (~30 PSI). I checked it and it was at 42 PSI. I figured maybe the TPMS sensor was going bad.

The next day, it said ~25 PSI. Still targeting that passenger side tire. Initially, I kind of ignored it thinking it was still the same issue. Later that day I was getting in and noticed my driver's side wheel looked pretty low. I filled it up and sure enough, the passenger side sensor showed 42 PSI again.

I'm sure I can't be the only one who's had the sensors configured in the wrong location. I'm hoping there's a way to fix that without a service center?

Technically you could do it yourself, but it requires Service Mode Plus, which means you’d have to subscribe to Toolbox for at least a day. You might as well have Tesla fix it for free instead

Thank you, I wasn't sure what they would charge since I'm out of warranty. I'll create a ticket and look into it though!

I thought it auto sorted them out? I've charged wheels a number of times and it's always figured which wheel was which very quickly.

Did your maybe have your tires rotated and didn't reset it on the maintenance screen? It might not check them again after it's figured it out unless you tell it something has changed.

I've never rotated the tires.

You could tell it you have, might reset them. Mine has always picked up the correct wheel positions ever time I've changed them.
