Tesla Inc. believes someone was in the driver’s seat during the fatal crash of a Model S in Texas earlier this month, though it hasn’t been able to retrieve all the data from the vehicle.
Lars Moravy, Tesla’s vice president of vehicle engineering, said on the company’s earnings call Monday that the automaker is working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board, two U.S. agencies that have launched probes into the bizarre crash.
