New Anti-Theft package at Tesla Shop

[zanary]

I had the alarm installed today and found two undocumented issues.

First, when the configuration is updated to activate the alarm it changes the way overheat protection works. When the Security Alarm is on Cabin Overheat Protection is greyed out. I checked a Model X without the new sensor and the alarm setting did not impact the Cabin Overheat Protection. There is a separate control for Tilt/Intrusion. Switching this on and off does not allow Cabin Overheat Protection. To get overheat protection you must disable the complete Security Alarm. I can understand that the new intrusion sensor precludes anyone or pet being in the cabin when it is active. The Tilt/Intrusion option should control the greying out of the Cabin Overheat Protection. When we leave our dog in the car with activate the HVAC system to maintain the proper temperature instead of Cabin Overheat Protection.The HVAC option is still available when the alarm is active. Greying Cabin Overheat Protection eliminates a second level of safety.

Second deals with how the Tilt/Intrusion option works. If you have Tilt/Intrusion turned off, when you return and unlock the vehicle the option turns back on. This means that every time I exit the vehicle while leaving my dog, I have to go to HVAC controls to leave that on and then to Controls/Safety Security and turn off the Security Alarm. It would be nice that they could make it more convenient to activate both of these options when exiting. Maybe the rumored Pet Mode will make this easier. I rue the day when If forget to turn off the Tilt/Intrusion sensor and my dog sets off the alarm alerting everyone that I have left my poor pet in an overheating car.

I have asked the Ranger who installed the system to file an issue with Tesla to see if these oversights can be addressed.

I think others also found the same issues as you've documented, but you've gone in much more detail. Nice find and let's hope that Tesla has a software fix for it.

Sorry, I didn’t notice it is back in stock for model S and not X.

This is clearly of high interest in the Tesla Community. Over 3,000 views on YouTube in a day mostly from viewers outside TMC. Unusual audience for me.
I wouldn’t be surprised if all versions sold out again fairly soon.

The dark headliner version is in stock for X today.

I’m getting mine installed on my X tomorrow here in Montreal. They said it’s the first one they are going to do here. Hope they don’t mess with my car

I’ll post pictures once I get the car back.

Amazing service from the service center. They fixed a bunch of other issues and checked my almost new tires to make sure they were using evenly.

Here are some pictures of the device in place:

Quite a bit different then the model S version, but I’m guessing they’re just both variations of what was originally installed there

I never got decals with mine

What are the implications of this in conjunction with the upcoming Sentry mode? Do we not need this anymore? Or would this augment Sentry mode somehow?

Currently out of stock again.

Any idea when it will be in stock?

I was wondering what is the use of this package for those that now have Sentry Mode available?

I ordered the enhanced antitheft module at the strong suggestion of my girlfriend ( and set a PIN to drive as well, as she requested) and after about 3-4 months was finally able to get it installed by the Dublin, California service center. The said it would take 3-4 days to do, so it took me days to find a time I could drop it off. I declined a loaner but used my hybrid 2009 Mercury Mariner to get around, and what to you know? They had it ready after a day! What a surprise. Had to rush in at the end of the day to pick it up, and they gave me the old center light (what am I going to do with this?) and... no decals that I could find.

There have been a rash of break-ins into Teslas around the SF Bay Area and to further discourage anyone from messing with my Model X, I bought a few solar rechargeable flashing red lights and put one on my dash in a conspicuous spot.

Works great and it amuses me

Not all Model S and X have access to sentry mode.

Like my Nov 2016 build.

I know. This is why I specified for those who have Sentry mode. Not the others.

Ah.

Well then my answer is this:

2 is 1. 1 is none.

This is the term we use for those who build mission critical redundant systems.

I am happy to have a dual channel blackvue setup in addition to sentry mode on the Model 3.
