The body shop said they'd take it for "a quick road test." Sentry Driver keeps a drive log for every trip when your phone isn't in the car: the route, the distance, and how long it took. So you'll know if quick meant around the block.

2am. Someone's been hanging around your parked Tesla for a while. What should the car do? Sentry Pro lets you choose, and you can choose something different for 2pm.

Every Tesla can launch hard. Not every driver needs to. When your phone isn't in the car, Sentry Driver flags rapid acceleration and harsh braking on that drive, so you can see if the instant torque is getting used a little too often.

Does Sentry Pro wake up your Tesla? No. It doesn't keep polling the car to check on it. The car streams Sentry events out on its own while it's already awake, and when it falls asleep, that stream simply stops. Whatever battery Sentry Mode uses, it uses with or without us.

"Text me when you get there." Then nobody texts. Draw a zone around Grandma's in Sentry Driver and you get an alert when the car arrives. Live location covers the drive in between. It only watches when your phone isn't in the car, and they don't install anything.

Tesla's Home and Work exclusions decide where Sentry Mode stays off. They don't know when. Sentry Pro schedules add the when. Sentry on overnight if the car sleeps on the street, off during the day if it sits in the office garage. Set it once and it runs every day.

Texting "where are you?" to someone who's driving is the one text you really don't want them to answer. Open Sentry Driver instead. Live location shows where the car is, and you'll hear about speeding or hard braking without asking.

You set up Sentry Pro. Your partner drives the car more than you do. Who gets the alert? Both of you. Install Sentry Pro on both phones, sign in with the same Tesla account, and every Sentry Pro alert reaches both.

They drove to school every day this week and you weren't in the car once. That's the point. Open Sentry Driver and the week's stats are right there, with the drive log if one trip needs a closer look. Your phone not being in the car is how it knows someone else is driving.
