Does Tesla notify you of Sentry Mode events?

Only for some of them. The Tesla app pushes a notification when your car’s alarm is triggered, when a door or the trunk is opened, or when it detects a sudden impact while you’re away. It does not notify you for the routine Sentry Mode events it records in the background — proximity and motion events are saved as clips but never pushed to your phone.

To get a real-time alert for every Sentry Mode event — including the ones the Tesla app stays silent on — Sentry Pro watches your Tesla and notifies you the moment an event is recorded, with optional iOS Critical Alerts, Apple Watch support, and a remote honk or flash deterrent.
