Does Sentry Driver drain my Tesla's battery?

No, Sentry Driver has minimal impact on your Tesla’s battery.

Unlike apps that constantly wake your Tesla to check status, Sentry Driver:

  • Only receives data when the car is already awake (during/after driving)
  • Never sends commands that wake your sleeping Tesla
  • Uses Tesla’s efficient Fleet API which is designed for minimal battery impact

Your Tesla’s battery life will remain essentially unchanged. The monitoring happens through the same systems Tesla uses for its own app, which are optimized for efficiency.
