Always seeking to exploit technology intelligently, in May Tesla introduced a new security-focused feature called Sentry Mode. As its name indicates, the feature records a 360-degree video around a Tesla vehicle when a security incident such as an attempted break-in is detected. Although originally designed to take – if not to deter – thieves, the Sentry mode deployment managed to capture a number of people trying to sneak Tesla's vehicles away with their car keys.
The latest example comes from Mbadachusetts, where a model 3 owner was shocked to see that a man had put his car in focus in a Target parking without any reason. The incident occurred at the end of last week. The video was uploaded to YouTube a few days later. As detailed in YouTube's description, the owner of Model 3 has filed a police report and hopes that vandalism will eventually be identified and stopped.
The video shows a man coming out of Target casually with a bottle of water. As he heads for his own car, he pulls out his keys and scrapes the side of the Model 3 in the direction of the length. As shown in the video below, the vandal takes a second to look at his work and smiles damage.
At this point, it remains to be determined whether model 3 was randomly targeted or whether it specifically attracted the attention of vandalism. What we do know, however, is that Tesla vehicles appear to be more targeted by vandals than other vehicles that you might find on a parking lot.
In a similar example from last May, two men in California scraped a Tesla Model 3 for no apparent reason. And as in the video above, the authors of this video were surprised laughing at the damage they caused after the fact. This incident can be seen below.
Perhaps the most heartbreaking video, however, occurred last month and shows a man who loosens the wheel nuts of a model 3 in an apparent effort to cause an accident.
