Leaving the dog

[Skip3210]

NEW OWNER ..We have a LARGE dog (110 lbs) who loves riding in the car. He simply sits in the back seat looking out the open window. In our other car (audi Q5) if I leave him in the back seat, window down a little and lock it to go into a store he invariably sets off the alarm when he moves around.

What is the best way to do this with the Model Y??

Will he set off alarm if we leave it in dog mode? Can I leave the window down a little in dog mode??

If we put on sentry mode won't he then set off the alarm if he moves from side to side?

Thanks in advance for any help.

never had an issue with any of the above things you mention. No setting off alarm. Just me, but I don't leave the window down at any amount as it encourages my down to react to more outside issues and putting his nose up at the top of the window. The AC/heat doesn't escape either.

You can disable the alarm. When you set Dog Mode the vehicle will lock after you exit. If you set the windows to not always close when the Tesla is locked then you should be able to leave a window cracked open.

Just make sure that you don't have window close function on when you leave the car and it locks. It will injure your dog if he has his head outside the window and you leave the car.

Thank you for your help.

What do do if you want to leave kids in the locked car but charge level is under 20% and dog/camp modes disabled?

Dog Mode disables sentry mode, can't have both on.

Dog Mode disables sentry mode, can't have both on.

Your dog becomes the security sentry. Lol
