Improving the Tesla Model S Alarm

[Russell]

That's going to be difficult as you need to wire it in with an existing alarm door sensor that isn't dual purpose (ie, both an alarm trigger, and a open/close sensor). I think that will be the most challenging piece.

The problem that someone brought up on this thread is if I were to use the hoot latch sensor, then while driving if the shock sensor goes of, it will be reported to the Tesla has the hood has opened up driving, since it's a dual purpose frunk sensor.

zanary, wire a Type B relay like this. It will disconnect power to the sensor when the car is on.

You can find the location of a switched wire in the attached pdf.
