Should say on the pillar sticker...
I also just took delivery and mine and my tires are also inflated to 43 in all 4 tires. Window pillar on my sticker does say 33. What's up?
Mine were inflated to 55psi. It was like rolling on rocks. I have them at 33 now and it is much better.
They’re supposed to set the tires properly during the pre-delivery inspection service. Makes you wonder what else they’re missing or just plain not doing. Hence, the reason I don’t trust the technicians at the stealership.
Same
If you go on the app and click on status this. Comes up and shows tire pressure in each tire

Yes should be at 33… mine were at 40ish and spare was at 55
Believe it or not........... there are certain things you should do even tho' it's a new vehicle:
Check the tire pressure in each tire with a gage, not an app.
Verify the torque on each lug nut, or at least put the lug wrench on each one and make sure they are tight.
Check the oil.
Check the antifreeze level.
Check the brake fluid level.
Verify all the lights work like they should..... Turn, Brake and running lights.
Locate the jack and how to remove it and resecure it.
Locate the jack handle.
How to lower the spare tire.
Read the manual, you'd be surprised how many questions can be answered! If you down load the emanual "Ctrl, F" (find hot keys) make quick work of finding things.
Nothing worse than needing to know something and finding out you don't.
For some of you this is crazy talk, but from some of the comments on this forum........ It will be new knowledge.

Are not the tire pressure sensors accurate?
I think the idea is to verify that they are accurate.
Might or might not be, once verified, I'd trust the app.
Mine came with 55 pounds in all five tires sticker on the door says 35 or 36 and that’s what I’ve set mine at. Our local Discount Tire manager said new cars are often shipped with increased pressure to ensure they don’t go flat.
True, but the stealership is supposed to adjust this on their delivery inspection. If they are skipping steps in their process, it makes you wonder what else they’re skipping.
Keep the spare at 55, as it will lose some pressure over time. Too low now and it will possibly be flat when you need it.
The spare tire pressure can be monitored in the dashboard with the rest of the tires so there will be no surprises.
