Reddit reviews US85 Tesla Black Chrome Auto Car Wheel Tire Air Valve Caps Stem Cover

Basically the stem is part of the TPMS and if the cap rusts on and is no longer removable from the stem, you need a new TPMS. Unfortunately as cool as they look, you can't use metal caps. Heres a link to some on Amazon. Look at the comments. People have had to spend $400+ for new stems and sensors.

Here's most of the nugets of advice I typed up for a co-worker friend of mine who's expecting his Tesla soon.

• Prior to your delivery day, download and install the Tesla app to your phone from the app store. It won’t let you sign-in until delivery day, but it’s good to have this working then. Your phone is the also a key to get into the car. The delivery specialist person will help you set it up.
  
  
• As a key, the phone app works at about, 99% reliability. About 1 out of a hundred times, you have to open the door with the card key. Always keep your card key on you as you would with a regular key – because you never know when the phone isn’t going to open the door. Also, never leave your phone in the car for obvious reasons (workaround: pin to drive for extra security).
  
  
• Get your Chargepoint account setup. They’ll mail you a little rfid credit card thing that you can keep in the car that you can use to tap sign-in to the charging station. The Chargepoint app on your phone can also be used to log into the charging stations.
  
  
• Also get the Plugshare app as well.
  
  
• Accessorize – with some of the stuff here. I have the portable air compressor pump and the tire repair kit in the trunk of my car. Model 3 does not have a spare tire.
  
  
• Also, order the Nema 14-50 adapter for the mobile charger. Tesla, as I understand it, doesn’t provide this cable with the car anymore, only the standard socket port cable. Although I hear some folks say if you ask your delivery specialist prior to pickup, they will give you one. The 14-50 is the “4 prong dryer outlet” socket and the 6-50 is the “3-prong” version. Having both in your car would be useful for parking at friends houses who have such a socket in their garage.
  
  
• And finally, get these.
