Maybe, or they may be encrypted by your car. Firmware 2026.20 and later can encrypt Sentry/Dashcam clips at the source; Dashcam Vault tells the two apart and explains which one it is, rather than showing a generic error. Encrypted clips still archive and verify fine, you'd just need Tesla's own tool to view their contents.
