    Sentry mode on 2022.20.6 (and before)

    one of the updates broke sentry mode but the greenlight update or previous one seemed to fix the issue. most cases unplugging the USB and plugging back in seems to fix the issue temporally.

    Tesla wants to replace my battery because jack points are damaged

    pretty standard practice you received a new Car and I'm assuming Labor on refurbishing the one component would cost alot more then just replacing the whole battery/jackpoints as they are one whole unit. I wouldn't worry to much about it.

    Should you use a Polish, compound + polish or a one step on New paint?

    all those steps are correct I would also do a iron remover before the claybar, a good thing to do as well is use a lube with your polish not only when doing the claybar it will prevent burning your paint with the polish.
