Sleeing in Tesla with sentry mode on

[Bruce2020]

Is it possible to sleep in Tesla with Sentry mode on? Has anyone done that? Will it cause false alarm when moving around inside the car?

Good question. Do your own test. Simple. Stay in the car, locked, Sentry mode on. Have someone approach the car, to see if Sentry mode is activated while you're still in the car. Then move around a bit.
It would take 2 minutes to answer your question...which is a good one!

I often sit in my waiting for take out food, etc while the door is locked and the sentry is on. It never triggers sentry event while I sit in my car even when people walk by my car presumably it knows I am sitting in the driver seat. But I am curious to know what will happen sleeping in the back - camping, etc. Hence, my question.

So crawl into the back and do the experiment I proposed.
