Features for Your Model 3
The Model 3 Is Often Someone’s First Tesla
The Model 3 brought Tesla ownership to millions of families. Its affordability and safety ratings make it a common choice when parents decide to let their teen drive electric. But that 0-60 in under 6 seconds? That’s what keeps parents up at night.
Sentry Driver turns that worry into peace of mind.
Will Sentry Driver Work With My Model 3?
Yes, if your Model 3 has firmware version 2024.26 or newer. This covers most Model 3 vehicles that have received recent over-the-air updates.
To check your firmware version: tap Controls > Software on your touchscreen.
Setup requires:
- One-time virtual key pairing through Tesla’s Fleet API
- About 5 minutes to complete
Once paired, Sentry Driver monitors your Model 3 automatically. No hardware. No installation in the car. No app for drivers to forget to open.
What You Can Monitor
Every Model 3 with compatible firmware gets the same features:
- 5 alert types: Speed limits, curfew violations, geofence boundaries, accident detection, and driving behavior
- Automatic driver detection: Bluetooth identifies when you’re driving vs. someone else
- Real-time location and speed: See where your Model 3 is right now
- Complete trip history: Distance traveled, maximum speed, hard brake counts
- Battery and charging status: Know the charge level without opening the Tesla app
- Event log: Review everything that happened during each drive
Why Parents Use Sentry Driver for Model 3
The Model 3 is often the car that gets handed down or shared with a new driver. You taught them to drive. You trust them. But you also know that a 300+ horsepower car with instant torque is a lot of temptation.
Sentry Driver doesn’t require your teen to do anything. They drive normally. You get notified when they don’t.
Set a speed alert at 80 mph. Get a push notification if they hit 81.
Set a curfew for 11 PM. Know immediately if the car moves at midnight.
Set a geofence around town. Find out if they “just went to the movies” actually meant a road trip.
No App for Drivers. That’s the Point.
Other monitoring apps require every driver to install software and remember to use it. Teenagers conveniently forget. Sentry Driver works through Tesla’s official Fleet Telemetry, so monitoring happens whether the driver participates or not.
Your phone’s Bluetooth tells Sentry Driver when you’re in the car, so you only get alerts when someone else is driving.
