I had Sentry Mode on my Model 3 (5.15) for a while and had been using it for weeks. On my Model X, I just got the 8.3 update and tested it yesterday. I noticed there is a difference between the 2 cars. With Model 3, even if I have the phone (as key) with me, Sentry Mode will still trigger if I come near the car. As a result, it will always trigger and record an event when I got back to car. I found that out early on and I have to remotely turn off Sentry Mode on the app before returning to car to avoid an unnecessary recording.
On the Model X, if I have the keyfob with me, it does not trigger the recording at all. I am guessing it is a side effect of the keyfob unlocking the car before I could get near the Sentry Mode detection zone. Or maybe this is an improvement on software 8.3 over 5.15? It is kind of nice as I don't have to remotely turn off Sentry Mode before returning to the car.
