    Starting to see a trickle of 2019.5.1 reported installs. 2019.5.x is the version with Sentry Mode and Dog Mode. I’m assuming it also includes the blind spot warning chime and geofenced automatic mirror folding that was reported on by a few sites several days back. Anyone get it yet? If so please post shots of the release notes.

    Doesn’t appear to be in this version. The wait continues.

    Sentry mode is huge.
    For the first time since v9, I really want the update. Can't wait to see how well it works for folks.

    I haven't received the update and already see a reason to whine. can this be changed to be easier to activate?

    Sentry Mode must be enabled each time a driver wants to use the feature by going to Controls > Safety & Security > Sentry Mode.

    maybe an option to being always on by default, or a shortcut on the initial panel of the screen?

    Some of us are complaining about vampire drain now, I am just wondering how much more energy will be used with that sentry mode.

    That’s why this is requiring manual input. I hope in future they can make this location based.

    I realize this is a reasonable add-on and response for the break-in issues, but my bigger desire is that this records parking hit and run incidents. While my Tesla is unmolested, my last car and my wife's car both got hit twice in parking lots (bad parallel parking, people cranking their wheels too early). No notes, just significant bumper/fender damage each time. I'm hoping the shaking of the car which should be more sensitive than someone leaning on it would record. I would track anyone down and pay any amount of money to PI someone and then track them down. Literally, I'd find out where they work, print out signs with pictures and leave them everywhere. It's such a violation, anyways optimistic Sentry mode will at least give me that satisfaction should it happen.

    I was kinda hoping Sentry mode would also include an update to the basic dashcam function where it records more cameras when the car is "on" :(

    Looks really good! But it needs the option of turning it on from the app (I will forget to turn it on when needed). Also an always-on option would be nice for people that park on unsecured locations.

    This is likely because it prevents the car from going to sleep, so they want someones implicit acceptance of that fact before parking somewhere that it could drain their battery (my guess).

    They should make it able to be turned on remotely via mobile, but if it adds to drain it should not automatically come on.

    Sentry mode requires more than 20% SOC so I'm guessing it'll prevent the car from going into deep sleep mode and will have a big increase in vampire drain.

    Seems like the dash cam will now include the 2 side cameras.

    Hopefully turning on Sentry mode every time will fix my car not wanting to wake up when I open up the app. It's like coffee!
