Love sentry mode, but I’m actually okay turning it on when needed in the car or app.
Maybe that’ll get old quickly, who knows, but right now I’m fine with it.
At least that would be on my fault. The disclaimer that it could have some delay (up to 30 minutes!) means that if something happens and its not captured, people are going to blame the app for not turning on soon enough, instead of themselves for not turning it on.Let’s hope you don’t forget and come out to damage on the car. That would suck big time.
What do you mean? It will always come on automatically if switch on in the app?The Tesla iOS app seems to have a switch that lets sentry mode be turned on and it sticks by itself...
Love it, but don't know why the car doesn't have "off/manual/always on" as option right in the car... why wouldn't I want it on?!
Ohh no! it puts video of me getting in my car on my USB card? that's awful. (i'm not that pretty).
That gets overwritten when full? That's a horrible tragedy. At that rate, it could only occur 32x before.. it just over wrote the oldest video..?
Having it turn on automatically means you create a SavedClip file whenever you enter your car and later exit as it would be triggered by motion around the car to record. 900mb x 2 (30mb per camera per 1-min of camera time x 3 cameras x 10 minutes on average x 2 enter/exit moves). Seems like a waste since not easily deleted off the USB for most people.
The app sends you a notification when it enables Sentry mode automatically, so there won't be any ambiguity.Having it turn on automatically means you create a SavedClip file whenever you enter your car and later exit as it would be triggered by motion around the car to record. 900mb x 2 (30mb per camera per 1-min of camera time x 3 cameras x 10 minutes on average x 2 enter/exit moves).

I personally rather assess where I’m parking and make that decision on my own. Not hard to develop good car habits just like putting on your seat belt or locking your house when you leave. You can always activate/deactivate from your app under Controls no matter where you are and avoid setting off the Sentry Mode recording yourself.
The possible 30 min. wait time bothers me as well. Turning it on or off via the app gives you instant feedback as to its status instead of wondering if it activated at that setting or not.
The feature allows the user to designate certain locations (e.g., home garage) as "Safe" where the app does not turn on Sentry mode.1.8 GB each time it gets set off?? So you park your car inside your garage for the night. Let’s say your garage has a window/s on it. Light from outside could trigger it to come on for example. The motorcycle driving by close to your house could too from other reports. You walk into your garage to get something you left in your car—recording!

Wow didn't know it doesn't overwrite. how do you know without having to pull the USB to see if there is space and when to delete old items?
