First one is sentry on/off?

Yes, otherwise it’s 4-5 button pushes and/or windows within the app

Frunk/tonneau because my hands are full and it’s difficult to navigate the phone app with one hand

And now power as it’s the only way I can find it lol

Makes sense. Perhaps you could you use the 3 second stand-in-front-of-the-frunk thing instead and regain your fart-gun access?

Wait, how do get five of them? I can only do four.

Drag the one you want to the far right of the shortcut icons, literally has to be dragged to the edge. 5$ if you do it first try

Thanks, that worked. I may have watched the video hemiarch posted to get my small to understand, but I will not admit to anything.

Sorry if it was below everyone’s “level”. It helped me.

i recently went on vacation for 2 weeks and left my CT at the airport. Made sure everything was off. i live 105 miles from the airport so i stopped and charged on my way there. Had 225 when i shut down. 3 days later i had 205, by the end of the first week i was down to 140. i started freaking out. but i remembered the 20% shutdown thing. At day 14 i hit 20%. the entire time it showed parked, not sleeping. when it hit 20% it finally went to sleep. My friends were looking at me funny when i was celebrating Isaac going to sleep. it dropped one more percent over the next 2 days. when i got back i had just enough to drop off two friends and make it to the charger with 5% remaining. Whew!
while charging i saw i had an update. waited till i got home. plugged in and started the install. first thing i saw in the release notes. was adding Low Power mode! MF. where was that 2 weeks ago. And why was i dropping so fast? I think it downloaded the update OTA. I was at an airport parking lot. I didn't hook to any wifi. and yet when i got back to the truck i had an update ready to install. Would have been nice if it had been a normal day. probably wouldn't have even noticed the drop. But 17 days later i was sweating it.

Well at least it eventually happens. I never stop marveling at the beauty of a vehicle that improves itself sitting in your driveway. It’s perhaps the coolest part of owning a Tesla

I think I might too

The way I see it the climate on/off and unlock and tonneau buttons are easily accessible enough through the “controls” menu so not essential.
I like to have vent, low power mode and plugs on/off so I can mange energy by charging and discharging my power banks rather than the car for things I like to keep on (like my fridge and starlink) .
Fart is just crucial.
I like to have remote start on there too though because it saves me having to pull a key out of the glovebox and give it to them at the car wash. I know…first world problems.
I just put it in car wash mode and then camp mode and I kind of keep an eye on it which is easy because my kids love to watch it get washed. Then when it looks like they are about to move it, I hit the 2 minute start thing.
The sentry button is a good addition. Thanks.
Anyone else got a better setup?
Please share with rationale. I feel like mine could be better.

So what’s the real world use of the sentry on/off shortcut?

It’s been slightly over 24 hrs since i posted this thread. After Hemiarch (thanks again, man) showed me how to remotely turn on low power mode, I haven’t lost one mile of range. My truck had dropped from 79 to 78 while I was trying to figure out how to access the low power toggle button.
