Snow Drift
[Off-Road Assist] Activated
The windshield defogger icon ( \|||/ ) will change from Blue (cool air) to Red (warm air) when pressed multiple times...maybe that is what this is all about?
- "The windshield defroster distributes air flow to the windshield. Touch once to defog the windshield (the icon turns blue). Touch a second time to defrost the windshield (the icon turns red and the heating and fan operate at maximum levels). Touch a third time to turn off and restore the air distribution, heating, and fan to their previous settings" (Page 98 OM).

Probably referring to the new Sentry Mode icon. When pressed it turns red indicating Sentry Mode is active. You can verify on your phone if it is activated.

If the OP would revisit this thread and post some clarification, maybe we could all stop guessing

That is sentry mode.
Sentry Mode: Guarding Your Tesla
If you want to have it record you need a USB formatted as Fat32 with a TeslaCam folder on it plugged into your USB port.

Thank you for saying this! I kept getting Sentry notifications but could not figure out how to watch them. So nothing is being recorded until I do this. I know I know READ THE MANUAL....
A word of caution: I'm buying an SSD, typical SDHC cards and Flash drives wont take the abuse of constant rewrites.

Sentry Mode without recording to a USB device will still watch over your car as you found out. Only cars with HW2.5 and greater have the ability (at least at present) to record footage from their front and two side repeater cameras to a flashdrive).
It works on our Model S with HW 2.0 in this fashion—If someone bumps your car for example, the car will put up the big red eye on your screen to get a possible intruders attention that it’s active. If it goes to Alarm state it will flash your headlights, beep repeatedly, and play loud music from inside the car to call attention to anyone possibly gaining access illegally. You will get a notification of this if set up for on your app. Kind of alarming in itself when you see the Alarm notification at your end
and what that could mean is happening to your car. Had it happen once while car was in parking garage and we at restaurant nearby. Ours was set off by a very loud vehicle driving by (motion and sound activated) which we were able to actually see from my Model 3’s sentry mode camera footage. Without the use of a recording medium you wouldn’t have that benefit of video to check out but any perp wouldn’t know that.
