Tesla's Sentry Mode will get better at trying to deter thieves and vandals
Following its impromptu all-hands meeting, Tesla made a few cosmetic changes to its Cybertruck pages, and hid an Easter egg in plain sight.
On the part detailing Sentry Mode, there's now the following text (seen also in the screenshot below): "Enable Sentry Mode to monitor your unattended vehicle or trailer, and automatically activate the alarm, increase the touchscreen brightness, and play music at max volume if a threat is detected".
And that last detail - playing music at max volume - is new. The functionality isn't yet present in Tesla's software as of the latest update (2025.8), so it's safe to assume it's coming in a future release, perhaps a bigger spring update - if that's coming, and if history repeats, it will.
This will presumably use the Cybertruck's Superhorn and external speaker, which can already play music when parked through the Boombox feature. That Superhorn really is loud, so this will hopefully help deter any thieves or vandals trying to attack your Cybertruck.
But a new feature might be limited to the Cybertruck.
