Tesla Vandalized - Sentry Mode Question

[Thalador]

Hey all,

My Model Y was vandalized in a hotel parking lot the other day. Sentry mode picked up everything so that isn't my question. After reading other stories and watching Youtube videos I always hear/read people saying "When the police arrived I gave them the sentry mode video".. How are they doing this? I have an SSD and have all the video, but how are they giving it to someone on the spot at the incident? Am I just reading into this and it is given after the fact?

I want to make sure I am not missing something.

Thanks

I think people hook the USB drive to their laptop, or phone, and then email the video files to the police.

Download the video to your laptop or cloud account and send the file or link to LEO.

This plus other options I've heard is that the police will come over to view the video, like they do for stores with security cameras and then go from there. Others have been successful posting the video to their local police department's social media sites (Facebook, Twitter).

@Thalador sorry to hear about your vandalization, hopefully the footage you captured will be helpful to law enforcement. Thanks for asking this question though, I've been meaning to as well, after watching far too many Wham Bam Teslacam videos

@Thalador also, it seems that they usually do themes. The most recent one appears to be about road rage. So maybe they are holding on to your video to group with other similar ones? Let us know if your ever makes an appearance!

For a quick and dirty solution, take a video with your phone from the screen and then upload it to youtube (unlisted if you want). Then you can send the youtube link to the police and insurance. No need to wait to get to a computer or bother with trying to give SD cards or emailing large video files that they may or may not be able to play on their computer.

@TLLMRRJ, Excellent suggestion. And folks that are reading his suggestion -- practice it so sitting at home so you can more easily do it while standing on the side of the road as your car is being towed from the wreck.
