This seems to have stayed out of the press. The few articles I could find didn't mention that it was a Tesla.

Yes, a quick google sais that he was driving his roadster so probably should be moved to another subforum.
A simple search of the victims Facebook page shows he owned a Model S.
That's a 35 mph residential road. How do you die with a Model S in a 35mph zone without hitting another vehicle? Even if he was going at say 55mph - it's a flat residential road.
Yes, in a low speed single car accident, driving a very safe car like a Model S, it seems highly likely that the cause of death was not related to the accident.
"Los Gatos, California. It was near the intersection of Short Road and Shannon Road"

I'm fascinated that I made my original post under Model S subforum but it appears the entire thread was moved to the Roadster subforum when there is no evidence that he was in a Roadster. His cover photo on his facebook page is a model S, and he appears to be sitting in a model S in the photo used for his obit. I'm all for defending Tesla and love my model S more than any other car I've owned but don't understand the blind defense of the car that happens in this forum. It is inevitable that fatalities will happen in the model S, my post was simply pointing out the existence of one of them.
