First off to OP, glad you were okay.
As to the Model S with the two guys who went off road and hit a tree and there appeared to be no one driving based on positioning of charred bodies in the car, well saw from CBS News that local CBS affiliate Houston KHOU TV said the guys were 59 and 69 years old! Totally blew my mind having thought these were teens risking doing something they should have known better than to do (if indeed were using tech to drive car with no driver to take over).
From CBS News:
“KHOU-TV reported that the car was a 2019 Tesla Model S, and the two men found in the car were aged 59 and 69. Herman said the car went about 100 feet after running off the road, hit a tree and immediately caught fire.”
From hearing the begining of this accident I had wondered if the car crashed with driver, and the passenger was unconscious or dead from impact, and due to damage to car the driver couldn’t climb out driver’s door but managed to get to rear but smoke fumes/fire killed him before escaping.
Just a weird story I’d like to know what happened. Hopefully Tesla got info sent to them indicating whether a driver was there (maybe he fled scene after crash?) or maybe even more fantastical someone wanted to dispose of two guys and rigged the whole scene at high speed knowing bodies would be burned. Just weird.

No one was driving Tesla before fiery crash that killed 2 passengers in Texas, authorities say
A Harris County constable told local media that there was a person in the front passenger seat and another in a rear passenger seat after the wreck in the Houston suburb of Spring.
