Tesla Sentry Mode captures thief’s face, license plate during Model 3 break-in

Tesla’s Sentry Mode recently captured a break-in that is brazen against a Model 3 in daylight. The episode transpired in the Embarcadero near Levi’s Plaza in San Francisco on Wednesday, April 3, and it resulted in the electric sedan cameras capturing the getaway vehicle’s license plate and the thief ’ s face.

Footage of the Model 3 break-in was shared on YouTube by Jed Franklin, who noted that the burglar came away empty-handed in the episode. While no belongings were taken, Franklin mentioned in his s description that the rear quarter window of his Model 3 had been ruined by the perpetrator.

Based on the thief’s movements, it looks like the crime had been done multiple times by the guy in the past. The Model 3’s side cameras demonstrated that the perpetrator approached the car, used a window punch instrument, and elbowed his way to the electric car’s back window. At this time, one can assume that Sentry Mode’s audio warnings started playing, but the burglar, apparently as experienced as he was, simply walked away calmly.

Recordings in the Model 3’s front camera revealed that the burglar entered a Honda Civic 6LPA886. Within a few seconds, the white Civic drove away, escaping the scene of the crime. Afterwards comments from the Model 3 owner disclosed that the footage had been turned over to the police, particularly since the face of the perpetrator and the license plate of the getaway vehicle were seized clearly by the electric sedan’s cameras. The Tesla owner noted he was informed that the incident might be looked into by an officer.

While it is unfortunate that the thief may not be pursued due to the police’s reaction to the break-in, an individual can only expect that Teslas finally get a reputation as vehicles which always record videos of the surroundings. Once word spreads it is much easier to be identified when breaking into a Tesla, the amount of thefts involving the firm ’s electric cars will probably decline.

Sentry Mode is currently rolling out to the Model 3, Model S, and Model X. Once triggered, Sentry Mode enters the “Standby” state, which involves the vehicle utilizing the feeds from its multiple cameras to monitor and detect potential threats. If a minimum threat is detected, Sentry Mode enters the “Alert” state, which is represented by a message on the automobile ’s display stating that footage has been captured. Once an impact is detected, Sentry Mode enters the “Alarm” state, playing music and engaging the automobile ’s lights to attract as much attention as possible.
