Using Sentry Mode
When Sentry Mode is turned on, the cameras
and sensors remain powered on and ready to
record suspicious activity around your vehicle
when Model X is locked and in Park.
To store and retrieve Sentry Mode footage,
ensure that Dashcam is on and a properly
formatted USB flash drive is inserted into a
front USB port (preferably in the glovebox)
).

using voice commands, say "Keep Tesla safe,"
"Keep my car safe," "Sentry on," or "Enable
Sentry" (see

Sentry Mode requires your Battery to be at
least 20% charged. If the Battery falls below
20%, Sentry Mode turns off and the mobile
app sends you a notification. Power
consumption may increase when Sentry Mode
is active.
NOTE:
Software updates cannot be installed
when Sentry Mode is turned on.
CAUTION:
Do not rely on Sentry Mode
to protect Model X from all possible
security threats. While it may help
deter some threats, no security system
can prevent all attacks.
