Do teens need to install an app?

No. Sentry Driver is a parent-only app. Your teen doesn't need to install anything or do anything differently. The app uses Tesla's Fleet API to monitor driving behavior directly from the vehicle.

How does Sentry Driver know when my teen is driving?

Sentry Driver uses Bluetooth detection from the parent's phone. When your phone is present in the car, monitoring is disabled. When your phone is not present (meaning your teen is driving), monitoring is automatically enabled.

Does Sentry Driver work with all Tesla models?

Yes, Sentry Driver works with all Tesla models that support the Fleet API, including Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, and Cybertruck.

Sentry Driver - Teen Driving Safety App for Tesla

Peace of Mind for Tesla Parents

Know your teen is driving safely without being intrusive. Sentry Driver monitors trips and alerts you in real-time
for speeding, curfew violations, and risky driving behavior - all powered by Tesla's official Fleet API.

The Challenge of Teaching Safe Driving

Every parent worries when their teen takes the car. Are they speeding? Did they make it home safely? Are they driving in areas they shouldn't be? Without real-time visibility, you're left hoping for the best.

How Sentry Driver Keeps Your Family Safe

Sentry Driver connects to your Tesla via the official Fleet API and uses Bluetooth detection to automatically know when your teen is driving versus you. When they're behind the wheel, you get instant alerts for speeding, hard braking, late-night driving, and more - without your teen needing to install anything.
