I don’t think we really need black box info. What we know that nobody in the media seems to want to point out makes it obvious there was a 3rd person driving.
NHTSA test cars for front, side, and pole impact at 40mph. AFAIK none have ever caught fire. Tesla has a 5 star rating for these.
The speed limit in that neighborhood is 25mph and there are signs.
“IF” AP could be engaged it would not likely go over 45mph in most extreme case. That is not instant death or instant fire speed.
Searching for “Tesla battery fire crash” one thing is in common. Very high speed, 100mph speed. That would require a person driving.
“IF” AP had been tricked there should be a metal seat belt ring on the right side of the driver seat. Seems like a simple check for authorities to do.
The BiL says he saw them leave and the car crashed soon after, but he did not hear it or see it? If I see a car go off and the driver get in the passenger seat I am staying around to watch. Sus.
2 dudes go for a ride to show off a car and leave a third dude standing to watch them leave? Sus
You want to show off AP and you choose that short stretch of road with a cul-de-sac to do it and not a highway? Sus
Why did the call to the FD say there were trees on fire and not a car crash? How long had the car been crashed before anyone called? Sus.
I know who I would be checking for bruising.
