Trick-or-Treat Mode: user reports recordings with Sentry off
Unconfirmed: A Reddit user (u/thaJack) says the Trick-or-Treat mode in the Halloween update, which indicates Sentry is off, still records. According to the post, Dashcam Viewer shows a new tab with Trick-or-Treat recordings, with pumpkin markers on the timeline where the system detected people. The finding was accidental, and the post includes no software version, exact date, or confirmation from Tesla.
- User reports recordings in Trick-or-Treat mode even though Sentry is shown as off.
- Dashcam Viewer reportedly has a new tab with pumpkin markers where people were detected.
🔎 Why it matters: There is no official confirmation from Tesla. The claim is that Trick-or-Treat mode records and marks people in Dashcam Viewer, although the screen indicates that Sentry is off.
📈 Upside: If the claim is correct, Dashcam Viewer would let users locate on the timeline the moments when people were detected during Trick-or-Treat mode.
📉 Risk: If recording happens with Sentry disabled, the on-screen indication would not reflect what the vehicle actually records.
