I think it's cute he assumed he got a bad sensor replaced.. following the story, it's more probable the shop replaced two good sensors and never the actual bad one until the end. Seems far more reasonable explanation of the whole episode.

After the initial trip to the tire shop, 2 of the sensor IDs that were previously working were still working. And I had 2 brand new valve stems. So they definitely changed out the bad one, along with another one. I just got super unlucky and one of the new sensors was defective.

The author more or less watched them swap the sensor that had initially been replaced.

(and had the ids of the remaining sensors)
