Can my teen see they're being monitored?

Sentry Driver runs invisibly - there’s nothing for your teen to see or interact with.

Since the app:

• Only needs to be installed on the parent’s phone
• Uses the Tesla Fleet API (not anything in the car)
• Doesn’t require any action from the teen

…there’s no visual indicator or notification in the car that monitoring is active.

Our recommendation: Be transparent with your teen about using Sentry Driver. Research shows that teens actually drive more safely when they know they’re being monitored, and open communication builds trust. The goal is safer driving, not surveillance.

Many families use Sentry Driver as a teaching tool - reviewing trips together and discussing safe driving habits.
