Dog mode vs sentry mode

That depends on why someone is breaking your windows. If they want to steal your stuff I would imagine sentry mode would be more of a deterrent. If they want to save your dog from heat exhaustion, then dog mode.
I’m just thinking about anti theft, bringing a dog seems old school but useful.

My dogs would only be more effective than Sentry Mode against people who A) don't like getting licked to death or B) don't like getting covered in so much dog hair that you basically tell people that the dog hair is a clothing accessory.

Knowing the Telsa humor factor, I'm surprised they didn't start playing constant loud fart sounds in all the speakers :rolleyes:

I like the idea of having a choice of what sounds to play loudly.

Canadian Model 3 owners deserve to have Nickleback playing on max volume.

I'd build a wall on that side just to prevent NB from crossing over again.

Which one would help more about preventing window breaking?
On a more serious note.... why can't we have both? Certainly no technical reason.

When I have my dog in the car (even if not running "dog mode") I need a quiet version of sentry mode. If that music blares when my dog is in there... nobody will be happy, and it would be terrifying for my dog. I would sure like to be able to leave my dog in the car and use Sentry mode.
