D4vd's Abandoned Tesla: Timeline of Events and New Details Revealed

Timeline of the Abandoned Tesla

• 🗓️ Neighbors first reported the abandoned Tesla on August 26th due to a large dent in the back.
• 👮 An officer issued the first ticket on August 27th, followed by a second ticket on September 3rd.
• 🚗 The vehicle was ultimately towed on September 5th, three days before it became crucial evidence in a homicide investigation.

Neighbor Accounts and Vehicle Condition

• 💬 Neighbors believed the car had been present for over a month, with some recalling it moving around as early as May.
• 🔍 High-resolution photos from the tickets revealed caked-on dirt, suggesting the car had been there much longer than initially thought.
• 👃 While no odor was officially noted on the initial report, the possibility of a smell being dismissed or unnoticed is discussed.

LA Towing Protocols and Vehicle Location

• ⏳ In Los Angeles, an officer must document a car as undisturbed for 72 hours before it can be towed for being abandoned.
• 📍 The Tesla was parked on a quiet, semi-circular street with high hedges, a location that offered strategic concealment.
• 🏠 The vehicle was found very close to D4vd's residence, approximately 150 feet away, on a street that is essentially half a block long.

Vehicle Model and Damage Details

• 🚗 Initial reports identified the car as a Model Y, but new details indicate it is a 2023 Model X, a more expensive and souped-up version.
• 💥 The car exhibits significant damage, including damage to all wheel wells, detached side fenders, a large rear dent, and front right damage, suggesting it may have been driven off-road.
• 📦 The larger 'frunk' of the Model X (6.6 cubic feet compared to the Model Y's 4.2 cubic feet) is noted as a potential factor in how the victim might have fit inside.
