Tesla owner in fiery Texas crash was initially driving car


The NTSB’s preliminary report provided the most detailed account yet of the crash, but did not answer a key question: When did the driver of the car move from behind the wheel to the back seat? — AP

The owner of a Tesla Inc Model S that slammed into a tree last month, who died along with a passenger, was behind the wheel when the car left his house shortly before the crash.

A home surveillance camera captured the owner entering the driver’s seat before the car slowly drove away and accelerated, the US National Transportation Safety Board said in a preliminary report on May 10.
