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.

About Sentry Driver: Teen Driving Safety for Tesla Families

Sentry Driver is the smart parental monitoring solution designed specifically for Tesla families. We help parents stay informed about their teen's driving behavior without being intrusive, using Tesla's official Fleet API for accurate, reliable data.

Why We Built Sentry Driver

As parents of teen drivers ourselves, we understand the anxiety that comes with handing over the car keys. We wanted a solution that provides peace of mind without creating conflict with our teens. Sentry Driver was born from this need - a monitoring tool that works quietly in the background, alerting you only when it matters.
