HI Black Tesla! Does Data Sharing waste a lot of battery to the point where I might be extremely low just driving around town on a normal day or does it keep the battery at what it would be without it?
There are thieves that break in even when sentry mode is triggered. So I want the car to drive itself as soon as the window is broken. And other Teslas nearby should block the thieves car or drive away, since they do break in multiple cars at a time.
Another great video, I didn't even realize the Marvel Tony Stark connection. It was intended to turn off every time, but they will be allowing us to pick our default, always on, always off, ask at park, and ignore work and home always on otherwise.
My Model S with AP2 (prior to October 2017, I believe) cannot save files to USB for the newly available Sentry Mode in 2019.12.1.1, but Tesla claims they have the videos with 'data sharing'. Not sure how we would access those. A phone call maybe.
Thanks for the comment. USB needs to be fat32 formatted, and at least 32Gig but recommended 128Gig. Sentry Mode being active may consume up to ~18gigs in a day depending on events as events are captured from the front and 2 side cameras only. Hope that helps!
The 2020 Model S sentry mode has a updated graphic of the electronic HAL eye...(personally prefer the older original version). Love for the car to give a verbal warning when it turns on. Love to see more info on the Horn activated recording feature and dashcam feature.
Yep we made a video about that here: ua-cam.com/video/Mmm4_5vh184/v-deo.html just to clarify its not a 2020 model year update its a universal update to all cars for 2020. I liked HAL9k but would really like the eye of Sauron from the lord of the rings 🤓
I hear they are working on a solve for this since there are 2017 cars that purchased Full self-driving and are owed an update for the new hardware when it's available.
I have a 2017 S 75D with FSD and when the FSD update came available last week; I jumped on it (the update was free with my car). It took Tesla several weeks to get the “parts” in, but they completed the update last week. At the same time, I bought the infotainment package upgrade ($2500) that gave me sentry recording in the car as well as the dash cam recording. It works very well. With that upgrade, I got the enhanced entertainment that included things like - now I can watch videos, Hulu, Netflix, karaoke and enhanced the surround sound. The downside to the upgrade was they did not do the mapping updates while I was at the dealership. I had to do that afterwards, and this needs to be done before the navigate on autopilot or the stop sign/stop light recognition will work. Then after the update was done, it took several hours for that update to be processed before it was active. The other thing that happened is my Tesla app Will not unlock my car now. It says it is unlocking, but it does not. It will lock the car from the app, but not unlock. Having to go back in for them to fix that. Good luck with your updates/upgrades.
In the latest sentry mode it may turn on the instrument cluster but the latest instrument cluster does not show the following: tire pressure type of car range
Where I live we have assigned parking and the neighbor in spot next to me has this mode enabled. Every time I walk between our cars that red dot is on the screen. I am not touching or closer to the Tesla than mine. I come and go at late hours so he must be getting alerts and video of me every time I park and exit my vehicle. Honestly it's a little intrusive in my opinion. I really don't need a neighbor (and tesla if data share is enabled) spying on my coming and going. I am not a threat, not touching his car. I am merely parking in my assigned area that is next to his. I am a car person myself so I make sure I dont bump cars. I feel like I am being watched like a child. I am going to start waving at 1 am when I see it is recording. Maybe say hello.
I've heard that you're supposed to get a notification on your phone whenever Sentry Mode is tripped. I've never gotten one. My notification is turned on on my app. Can you show me a sample of the notification you receive if Sentry Mode is engaged?
I'm with you, not a fan of how quickly change is happening and older cars are getting left behind. That was a main reason for upgrading from 2014 to a 2018.
At least 32gigs in size, formatted fat32, can use either usb port in the front of the car, need to create a folder called "TeslaCam" caps are important.
Excellent initiative. Missing interface with a choice of on-line streaming services. This is when data sharing is not allowed and the memory stick can be taken from the USB-slot. The vehicle should probably also disconnect it's main power source and operate on the 12V battery when an intrusion is detected.
So... Let me say this, I was thinking about trading in my Tesla model s 100D next year for another new one... But if it goes out of date as fast as this one did I will not be getting another Tesla there's already features I can't get with this car only being one and half years old.
Yes I know they are innovating at a rapid pace and it seems model 3 is the priority at the moment so maybe get a model 3 or model y so that you'll be assured to be future-proofed for at least 2 yrs out.
That makes no sense, you got exactly what you paid for. No other automaker even comes close to providing you more features at no cost after purchase. What manufacturer are you going to buy from that guarantees you car will never be obsolete. I have a 2015 Model S and don’t have any of this but still love that they are always improving.
For Model S/X the USB ports are in the center console just next to the 12v socket. For Model 3/Y they are in the center console under the flip panel towards the front.
Not sure if you were ever able to find out anything from the Tesla team regarding the issue...I have a 2017 Model S 90D and we get the same thing. Small files on our thumb drive, but nothing to view. I know this video is older, but it's still relevant for many of us with older models without the new hardware. Thanks in advance for any insight!
Haven't gotten a concrete answer but I can say that sentry mode functionality is really a heavy lift for older cars. The MCU's in those cars were not spec'ed for these features and it's a heavy lift. Our 2020 X is always buggy opening the viewer which often glitches and doesn't even load as expected.
@@BlackTesla Makes sense...well, at least it still acts as a deterrent for potential thieves. Our 2017 is our first Tesla (used) just picked it up last year. My wife calls it our "Test-Luh" as were are trying out the EV space and then setting our sites on a new Plaid in the future. So far we love it (minus the out-dated hardware). It's so fun to drive and handles great and is so smooth and comfortable on long road trips. Can't beat the Super Charging Network. We cancelled our Rivian order to get this used 90D and thought we might regret it. However that couldn't be further from the truth. After seeing what Rivian is going through and the frustrations with EA chargers, I'm glad we made the choice we did. Appreciate the reply. Have a good one!
So, I got 2 reports of a single alarm, and then a single report of 65 [sic] alarms! Didn't have a USB attached, but I sure wonder what could explain this. Are we keeping records, for Guinness??
The system will record sentry mode events in a log that is shown to owners on the screen as "events". If you don't have a usb in you simply won't have access to the footage of the events. Tesla says it stores footage in the cloud but I am unsure how to access it short of requesting it from support. 65 events sounds odd like an animal or animals were around your car!
Unfortunately no, you will have the icon but not the ability to save clips to the car and view them. You also don't get sentry mode live view via the app.
Great video. Just telling me about Hal made it worth it. Also you were the FIRST to let me know I will be getting sentry mode for my Model S with AP2. My wife got sentry for her model 3.....and I was still waiting and wondering if Model S's would get it. Thx SO much.
Thanks for the comment. However, our Model X is AP2 and got the update without Sentry Mode. Apparently, only S/X cars with AP2.5 or greater will have Sentry Mode, it's tied to the dashcam feature which is also for AP2.5 and greater. Good news is, Elon has committed to an upgrade path for those on AP2.0 that have bought Full Self-driving, so if you have that you just need to wait until they release the hardware. If you don't and are interested I'd suggest getting it now before the price increase on May 1.
I have contacted and this is what they said through an email today: I am reaching out to you in regards to your self-scheduled appointment for your Tesla. Your Model S is currently on 2018.50, which is the most latest fleet wide firmware update. There are no pending updates at this time. We will be cancelling your service appointment.
I notice your Model S and my Model X dont have the blinking red HAL light like the model 3 does. What do you think about this? I wish when sentry mode activated on my X the eye would start blinking as it makes it look like its actually recording... the fact that it just stays stationary makes the screen look like a frozen picture rather than an active deterrent. Unfortunate.
Yes the difference between the M S/X screen/mcu and the M3 screen/mcu is why it doesn't animate, not liking that. Wish it would animate and move to track where the camera senses motion.
Black Tesla I feel like the technology must exist in the screen for them to create an animated sentry mode for M S/X. They figured out how to make the fire romance mode flicker right? Grateful for it nevertheless! I use it everyday on the streets of NYC.
Thanks for doing this. I wasn't sure if the thumb drive was necessary or not, so thanks for explaining the difference a bit more. Something to add is one cool thing is you can turn Sentry mode on remotely! Which is so great because I keep forgetting to turn it on when I leave the car.
Well done, sir, but I can’t feel sorry for you, with your large binacle, displaying all of that extra information behind the steering wheel! Elon posted that Sentry Mode will have alternate ways of turning the Mode on or off at certain locations.
Sentry Mode alerts in car will clear when you put the car in gear (Drive or Reverse). Also depending on the speed in which you move away from your car and approach it you may find that you're the one triggering the event/alert 😉
Black Tesla Thank you, that makes sense! Just got my Model X few days ago I’m having service come to my house to fix the exterior window trim by the falcon doors looks like it’s misaligned. Have you had any issues like that? Is it a simple fix?
Barry Hadar Tesla uses ultrasonic sensors around the car to get a 360 degree view with them alone. Sonar on submarines send sound waves like whales. Ultra sonic sensors do the same, sensing sounds with a greater frequency that humans could hear. I’m not sure, but I think that they send 30,000 HZ frequencies. Humans hear between 20 HZ to 20,000 HZ. So in short you could say that they do use sonar in a way. They also have a radar under the front bumper.
The USB for S/X goes in either of the 2 ports to the left of the 12v port in the center console below the armrest. In the model 3 it a inside the console.
Wait you don't know where your thumb drive goes in your Tesla? The setup instructions are in the manual. Didn't feel necessary to go through the basics that all owners know when they take delivery.

HI Black Tesla! Does Data Sharing waste a lot of battery to the point where I might be extremely low just driving around town on a normal day or does it keep the battery at what it would be without it?
Hey data sharing has no material impact on battery/range it just send data over LTE or WiFi depending on the amount.
Thanks for the helpful video! I think you meant FREE supercharging, not FEE!
There are thieves that break in even when sentry mode is triggered.
So I want the car to drive itself as soon as the window is broken. And other Teslas nearby should block the thieves car or drive away, since they do break in multiple cars at a time.
Either that or shock em maybe even go a step further and call the police
Maybe even spew poison gas out of the air vents which burn their skin off.
@@bbprime5017 lock doors and autoburn mode!

It was intended to turn off every time, but they will be allowing us to pick our default, always on, always off, ask at park, and ignore work and home always on otherwise.

Answer please ?🙏🏽

Nice review. I would have liked to hear more on the USB and which format method needs to be used. Eg: FAT32? Thank you.
Thanks for the comment. USB needs to be fat32 formatted, and at least 32Gig but recommended 128Gig. Sentry Mode being active may consume up to ~18gigs in a day depending on events as events are captured from the front and 2 side cameras only. Hope that helps!

That is correct, you cannot record to a hard drive but allegedly your recordings can be accessed via Tesla through the cloud.
