Sentry/dashcam mode is the most requested feature in @Bobby update tracker site. Never had a Tesla before and so not too familiar with the feature and personally don’t see a huge need. I would prefer the dashcam solution and not worry about the recordings being misusedIt’s a great feature for making you feel like you’ll be able to track down vandals. But in practice, the cops don’t care.
So you are basically handing over private recordings of yourself and family to immature, unethical employees at Tesla for nothing.
That’s a little unfair. It could possibly help in an accident to establish fault. But that’s a lot to give up for a small chance of a better insurance outcome. You are better off installing your own dash cam, which at least isn’t phoning your videos home to the
I generally leave mine off, but I do love that most people now assume any Tesla is recording them, so they avoid touching my car in general.I get envious of the Tesla's in my parking garage that have this feature. When walking by, you know it's active. I hope it is on their list.
Works like a charm in the Rivian. Other than plugging in a usb C memory storage device it is totally seamless. A bit annoying with all the curious bystanders approaching to get a better look but the number of incidents will approach zero once the R1Ts loose their UFO sighting status.My personal guess with No insider info, when they can increase the size of the engineering team by a lot. I would guess 2 years, could be wrong. It took Tesla years, but it all comes down to priority and revenue.
I look forward to it. Without a doubt they have the necessary hardware to implement. I just wonder where the video will be maintained (probably accessed via the Lucid App)My personal guess with No insider info, when they can increase the size of the engineering team by a lot.

It still needs to live somewhere until it can be uploaded. Video is large, and the car isn’t always connected. Some sort of on-board storage would be required to temporarily hold up to a few days of footage, at least.I'd honestly prefer to have the security feature store the video on their cloud and I'd be happy to pay for a subscription for the storage.
The best case is Lucid can authenticate with my google account and then just dump the videos inside my google drive.
I agree, but a USB stick is pretty small when it comes to disk size so it's not gonna help much and the Air seems to only have 2 USB connectors.It still needs to live somewhere until it can be uploaded.

They don’t have to be small: SanDisk 1TB Extreme PRO USB 3.2 Solid State Flash Drive - SDCZ880-1T00-GAM46 https://a.co/bgVSKgVI agree, but a USB stick is pretty small when it comes to disk size so it's not gonna help much and the Air seems to only have 2 USB connectors.
It'll require some kind of extender otherwise there won't be enough ports for charging.
Didn't realize there were 2 more in the back! Type C?They don’t have to be small: SanDisk 1TB Extreme PRO USB 3.2 Solid State Flash Drive - SDCZ880-1T00-GAM46 https://a.co/bgVSKgV
Also, there are four usb ports - two front, two back.
Yep! Two usb-c in the back, one usb-c and one usb-a in the front.Didn't realize there were 2 more in the back! Type C?
Anyways, I'm happy to get a SSD for local storage once the feature is available.
And I do hope there's a cloud storage option.
One of the thing I hate about Tesla is I have to unplug the USB stick immediately when someone hit me or I'll lose the footage.
Hahaha just checked and I did saw 2 more.Yep! Two usb-c in the back, one usb-c and one usb-a in the front.
Yup, intended for charging.Hahaha just checked and I did saw 2 more.
It looks like it's intended for people to charge in the back?
Anyways, I'll probably figure something out when the time comes.
Not yet.Any news for Sentry Mode on the Air?
