Know How Your Company Teslas Are Being Driven

Tesla Fleet Driver Monitoring Without Fleet Hardware

Tesla fleet driver monitoring usually means dongles, installs, and drivers who can unplug the thing. Sentry Driver does it differently: it runs on Tesla’s official Fleet API, across every vehicle on your account, with nothing for a driver to install and nothing to physically maintain.

Disputed incidents, speeding in a company vehicle, and unauthorized vehicle use can all create cost and accountability problems. Sentry Driver gives you useful visibility into monitored trips and vehicles - without installing hardware or requiring drivers to use an app.

Multi-Vehicle Management Built In

Subscription tiers support 1, 2, 3, or 5 vehicles. All monitored from a single account with:

• Per-vehicle alerts - Know which vehicle triggered what event
• Trip history - Distance, duration, max speed, and hard brake counts for monitored drives
• Event logs - Timestamped records with recorded locations
• Same rules, consistent enforcement - Apply speed limits and geofences uniformly across your fleet

Whether it’s a delivery fleet, a rideshare operation, or a handful of company cars assigned to staff, the same account watches all of them. For a deeper walkthrough, read our guide on Tesla fleet driver monitoring.

5 Alert Types That Matter for Business

Speed Limit Compliance

Set company policy as a number. 5 over the limit? 10 over? Whatever you decide, violations are logged with speed, location, and timestamp. Documentation can support your internal review if something goes wrong.

Geofence Zones for Territory Management

Create circular boundaries for service areas, customer sites, or restricted zones. Mark as “allowed” (alert when vehicles leave) or “restricted” (alert when vehicles enter). Get alerted when a vehicle is where it shouldn’t be.

Accident Detection with 3 Sensitivity Levels

• Low (2g): Only significant impacts trigger alerts
• Medium (4g): Moderate collisions detected
• High (8g): Minor incidents caught, but more false positives

Choose based on your risk tolerance. Every detection includes recorded location for timely response.

Curfew Monitoring for After-Hours Use

Define allowed operating hours with start/end times and specific days of the week. Get alerted when vehicles are used outside business hours. Timezone-aware configuration.

Driving Behavior Tracking

Hard braking and sudden acceleration events are logged per drive with three sensitivity levels. Use the data for driver coaching, not just discipline. Patterns become visible over time.

What You Get for Every Trip

Each monitored drive records:

• Start and end timestamps
• Total distance and duration
• Maximum speed reached
• Hard braking event count
• Acceleration event count
• Location, speed, and heading as telemetry is received

Plus an event log with timestamps and locations for rule violations.

Documentation That Supports Your Business

When an incident occurs, having data helps:

• Accident claims: Provide speed and location context for claims discussions
• Customer disputes: Verify when your vehicle arrived and departed
• Employee accountability: Know if company vehicles are being used appropriately
• Insurance documentation: Provide trip records when requested

Less guesswork, more timestamped context.

• No OBD dongles to install
• No driver app to download
• No training required
• No driver-side app or dongle to manage
• Works with supported Model S, 3, X, Y, and Cybertruck vehicles that meet Tesla Fleet API and telemetry requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

How many vehicles can I monitor?

Subscription tiers support 1, 2, 3, or 5 vehicles per account. Choose the tier that matches your fleet size.

Do drivers need to install anything?

No. Drivers don’t install an app, pair a phone, or change how they operate the vehicle. Monitoring is completely transparent to them.

Can I support a disputed incident with speed records?

Yes. Monitored drives record the maximum speed reached, and the event log captures speeds at specific times and locations. This data can support or refute claims about how the car was being driven.

What if I only want to monitor during business hours?

Use the curfew feature in reverse - set alerts to trigger only during business hours, or configure geofence alerts to only activate during specific time windows.

Does this work with Tesla’s commercial fleet features?

Sentry Driver uses the same Fleet API that Tesla provides for fleet management. It complements any existing Tesla fleet features you may be using.
