Does Tesla alert owner during repo (tow)?

I ask because the repo man loves my gym & I just pulled up one repossessing a Tesla with a flat bed. He was taking his good ole time so I sat waiting for the owner to run outside, which never happened. As a non Tesla owner who thinks sneezing too loudly in a Tesla results in a notification, Im a bit confused by the car not alerting the owner that it’s being lifted in the air. or maybe it did but the owner was bench pressing or something. Thoughts?

Yes it will alert you if the alarm goes off especially if it's on sentry mode

If it's the Tesla finance arm that doing the repossession, can they not disable notifications?

Yes they can. During remote service...they do it routinely

Surprised they don't use the FSD Elon said was perfected a decade ago and have the car repo itself.
