It doesn't. I backed out of a spot with a COMPLETELY flat tire with no notification from the TPMS. I was able to get air in the tire so I could drive to a shop to have it patched. I could hear air escaping from the tire and the TPMS still had the values from 8 hours earlier when I drove to work. The shop fixed the tire and I drove about another 5 miles before it ever updated from the 8:00 a.m. values - it was about 7:00pm at that point.I have not had a flat in the Rivian, but the tire data seems to update similar to my previous Tesla. The Tesla did alert me twice with totally flat tires within seconds of backing out of a parking space. I would hope that the Rivian would do the same.
This system will only help you if you start to lose air once the TPMS sensors wake up. For me, that's often 10+ minutes into my drive.
