The sentry mode of a Tesla car is a unique security feature that has been designed to detect varying degrees of suspicious motion or behaviour around the vehicle when parked or stationary. Depending on the severity of the detection, the car will recat in a particular way. This may include activation of the vehicle’s alarm, video recording cameras, and even a notification direct to your mobile device via the Tesla mobile app.

Installing a GPS Tracker to a Tesla

While these and so many other security features are already built-in and come as standard with the purchase of Tesla models, it is still recommended that you consider additional safety and security measures.

Although the GPS tracking within a Tesla car is linked to your mobile device via the Tesla app, many insurance providers do not deem this adequate enough for the value of the car. Which is why, in order to insure a Tesla, these insurance companies will request that you install a Thatcham-approved GPS tracker to your car. Adding this extra layer of protection will guarantee complete control oversight of your vehicle’s location at all times, and provide an accurate means of vehicle recovery support, in this instance that your vehicle is potentially stolen.
