Has anyone with a Model S gotten Sentry Live View?

2021.36.8 promises Sentry Live View to all cars with MCU2 and HW2.5+ but it only seems to be going out to MY and M3 cars. Cars without the external speaker would be limited to viewing only (no external speaker), but should otherwise work - this from the release notes on Not A Tesla App.

I have received the FSD Beta 2021.36.8.8 and Live View is not there, but often FSD Beta vehicles run late on the newest features and take a while to catch up, Live View is limited to M3 & MY in the release notes. But what about the rest of the fleet that are not M3 or MY models?

This is not an issue with app upgrades or premium connectivity - you can have all of that and still no MS or MX seem to have gotten the upgrade yet.

So far it seems there a lot of issues...?

2021.36.8.6 (FSD Beta 10.4) installed yesterday on my Model S Plaid. I have live view sentry mode working on my car. I think this beta version seems restricted to refresh S's (Plaid & LR) based on the numbers and info on TeslaFi. I don't think there is a 2021.36.8.8 out there - at least not yet (based on info in both TeslaFi and Teslascope).

Typo it's 8.5

I have 8.6 on my Plaid and it's there, although I cannot get the microphone feature to work. I have mic access allowed for the Tesla app on my phone but no go. When I press the mic icon in the app it turns blue but no sound from the car. I know the ext speaker works since I have the UFO sound in reverse.

I have 2021.36.8.6 (Beta 10.4) on new Model S Plaid. Yes the live view and talk through speaker is working. (On good LTE with iPhone).

I tested again and this time it worked. Same wifi, same LTE.

I haven't seen anyone with the pre-refresh MS or MX get this feature yet. Super disappointing. My 2021 pre-refresh MX LR+ has MCU2 and HW3.0 and still with 2021.40.6, no live sentry mode.

Just checking in on this topic, anyone heard anything or confirmation it’s never coming to “legacy” model S cars?

No update. Highly doubt there will be any for the foreseeable future. Right now, hopefully, Tesla is doing Triage on v11. If we have any chance of getting this feature, it will likely be AFTER Tesla has finished re-tooling v11.

Just guesses on my part, no idea really.

Tesla confirmed a while back that Sentry Live View isn’t for legacy S/X cars: Introducing Software V11.0

If you’re hoping they eventually change that, don’t hold your breath. Tesla has zero incentive to invest development time/money on legacy cars.

It’s interesting how we’re talking about 2021 model cars and referring to them as “legacy”. Also interesting that I had live view sentry on my 2018 model 3, but my 2018 model s doesn’t have it. The flagship sedan vs the cheaper entry level sedan.

We just might get live sentry, we got the car colorizer…
