Yesterday when I came out of the restaurant I was at for lunch, I noticed there was an accident on the street. My Model Y was untouched, but I noticed it had a clear view of the intersection where the accident happened.
When I got in the car, there was no sentry event alert. I opened up the recordings viewer and it let me watch the sentry mode recording from the time I was in the restaurant, and sure enough about halfway through it caught the accident.
Today, a little less than 24 hours later, I pulled out the drive and loaded it into my computer to see if I could grab the footage, and it's no longer there in any of the folders (RecentClips, SavedClips, SentryClips).

- Is there anything I could/should have done in the car at the time to save the sentry recording?
- Is there anything I can do with the car now to have it always save all recordings? I keep reading that the car will only keep the last hour or so of footage if it isn't manually saved either by honking the horn or tapping the camera icon.
- I'm tempted to set up the Raspberry Pi Tesla USB, but I'm unclear if this will record all footage or not.
