How do I reconnect my Tesla account?

If Sentry Driver loses connection to your Tesla account, you can reconnect through the app settings.

When to reconnect:

  • You changed your Tesla account password
  • You revoked Sentry Driver’s access in your Tesla account
  • You’re seeing “Tesla account disconnected” errors
  • Vehicles aren’t showing up or updating

To reconnect:

  1. Open Sentry Driver
  2. Go to Settings > Tesla Account
  3. Tap Reconnect or Sign in with Tesla
  4. You’ll be redirected to Tesla’s secure login page
  5. Enter your Tesla credentials and approve access
  6. Return to Sentry Driver - your vehicles should reappear

What permissions to grant:

When connecting, Tesla will ask you to approve specific permissions:

  • Vehicle Information (required) - Needed for all features
  • Vehicle Location (recommended) - For maps and geofencing
  • Vehicle Commands (optional) - Not currently used

Security note:

Sentry Driver uses Tesla’s official OAuth system. We never see or store your Tesla password - you authenticate directly with Tesla, and we receive a secure token that can be revoked at any time.

After reconnecting:

  • Your existing rules and settings are preserved
  • Vehicles should sync within a few moments
  • If issues persist, try logging out and back in to Sentry Driver
