Yes, as of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Tesla Model 3 owners can use Sentry Mode. Sentry Mode is a security feature designed to enhance the protection of your Tesla when it's parked and unattended. Here's how Sentry Mode works:
1. **External Cameras:** Tesla vehicles, including the Model 3, are equipped with external cameras that are part of the vehicle's Autopilot and Full Self-Driving capabilities. These cameras are used for various safety and security features, including Sentry Mode.
2. **Activation:** When activated, Sentry Mode uses the external cameras to continuously monitor the vehicle's surroundings. If the cameras detect a potential threat or if someone comes too close to the vehicle, Sentry Mode activates and records video footage.
3. **Alerts:** Sentry Mode also displays a visual warning on the touchscreen inside the vehicle, notifying passersby that the car is recording. This can act as a deterrent to potential vandals or thieves.
4. **Saved Footage:** In the event of a detected threat or suspicious activity, Sentry Mode saves a short video clip to the vehicle's storage. You can access and review these clips later using the Tesla mobile app or by connecting a USB drive to the vehicle.
To activate Sentry Mode on your Tesla Model 3:
1. Make sure your car is in PARK.
2. Tap the Tesla "T" on the center touchscreen.
3. Choose 'Security' and then 'Sentry Mode.'
4. Enable Sentry Mode by tapping 'Enable' when parked.
Keep in mind that features and options can be updated via over-the-air software updates from Tesla, so it's advisable to check the latest owner's manual or Tesla's official documentation for any changes or additional features related to Sentry Mode.
