This shows a current address but this is probably a victim of Identity theft and not the real offender.
I wonder how much would it cost for Dog the Bounty Hunter to find this guy...
I would have been alarmed both dls have the same pic from different states. with different names
I didn't see his NV till the rental company sent me that ID...but, yes, he obviously is good at putting his face on ID's. Feel bad for the people he pretended to be...hopefully they are aware.

How it was able to use the Tesla Supercharger? You need a Tesla account.
May be the rental company provided an account?

No idea, but he was searching for Brian Laundrie before he had to stop due to an ankle injury or something...

Contact the FBI. Dont play with the local police. This appears to be inter-state fraud and they have WAY more resources.
Time is of the essence, every minute counts. The scammer is likely shifting the money around very quickly and covering their tracks.

One ID shows "blue" eyes and the other shows "brown".
Sorry to hear about this happening and hope authorities put some effort into finding the guy.
When I sold my Model S to AutoNation, I showed them proof that I unlinked the car from my Tesla account. OP, I don’t blame you for not knowing in advance but hopefully this helps future buyers. For future buyers, have the seller prove they actually have access to the car through the app and not just with the keycard (3/Y) or keyfob (S/X). The price did seem too good to be true but I suppose it’s good the scammer didn’t receive an even higher payment. Hoping that karma sets things right for you in life, and ditto for the fraudster.

Not much help but it's the best I have to offer - when you file your 2021 taxes try and include the theft as a deduction
Here's IRS Topic #515
I'm not sure how this works, but if it's a deduction, you might want to bunch Property taxes in 2021 to make it worth itemizing
And I'm really sorry to hear about what happened to you

Wow... just wow... Cannot believe these shady people robbing us not just of our money but faith in humanity. I sincerely hope that you are made whole in other ways for your loss. Best of luck to you! 
I was thinking the same thing so I looked it up. It seems the theft/casualty loss has to be related to a federally declared disaster. Went into effect in 2018 and is locked till 2025.
Form 4684 - Theft and Casualty Losses
