Lots of info on the Tesla!

Data from Naresh Bhatt's Tesla could hold clues in search for missing Va. mom, expert says

An automotive expert tells 7News detectives may already have a treasure trove of evidence in the Tesla belonging to the husband of missing mom Mamta Kafle Bhatt

wjla.com

... the fact Bhatt sold his car could work to detectives' advantage.

"In this case, let's say hypothetically he did have Sentry Mode on and did something that's potentially incriminating, if he sold the car, this is a tricky thing, the data doesn't necessarily get erased. That's a thing to keep in mind with any modern car, and especially as ones as data-heavy as a Tesla. If you sell your car, you want to be sure to wipe everything, otherwise it could just be full of all kinds of data of your own. It could be addresses stored in your address book or your GPS data, or list of locations you've been to. If they bought this car from the man, then they potentially have access to all that data and, legally, I think they may be just fine to do whatever they want with it. It's a pretty grey area. If the owner did not take the time to wipe that car before they sold it, I don't know what kind of recourse they may have," Torchinsky said.

IIRC NB has so far only been charged with abuse or concealment of a corpse (or the like), correct? IANAL but presume therefore, only information related to that charge would be in scope here? MOO
