Who has or is planning to get an electric car / EV Talk

The TPMS on mine (not a Tesla) has gone bad twice now. I'd be in favor of removing them since they serve no real purpose except to go bad, as far as I can tell. I mean, it's fairly obvious when a tire needs more air anyway. The last time I just left it because it's not worth fixing. Although when the car was inspected, they fixed it anyway even though I didn't mention it, and they didn't say anything either (or charge anything).

I’ve never had an issue with mine on my Golf or BMW.
Personally they work very well and alert you to a problem much earlier than a visual check would.
Also running any car (but especially an EV) with incorrect tyre pressure will effect the range.

I like having TPMS. Teslas are low energy BT so they are supposed to last like 10 years.

I added a car tire (run flat) to the rear of my motorcycle (see going darkside). I added and aftermarket TPMS to know if it is low on air.
