D4vd’s Tesla Could Identify Driver, Who May Be Induced to Flip: Former Laci Peterson Detective Says

As the investigation into the body found in a Tesla registered to singer D4vd continues, experts are pointing to the car’s own technology as a potential key witness. According to a former detective involved in the high-profile Laci Peterson case, the Tesla’s onboard data systems could hold crucial information — including the identity of the person who last drove the vehicle. And if that person wasn’t the artist himself, they may soon be pressured to turn state’s witness.
The comment came during an interview on Banfield, where the former detective explained how Tesla vehicles are essentially “rolling surveillance devices.” From GPS tracking and driver profiles to dashcam footage and internal logs, Tesla’s smart system could help determine exactly when the car was driven, where it went, and by whom.
“Tesla vehicles retain a wealth of data,” the investigator said. “We’re talking seat position, driver identification, even weight sensors. If someone else was behind the wheel, there’s a digital trail — and that person is now in serious legal jeopardy.”
The body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, missing since April 2024, was discovered earlier this month in the front trunk of a Tesla Model X registered to D4vd, a rising music star known for hits like “Romantic Homicide.” The discovery triggered a media firestorm and forced the artist to cancel his U.S. tour and delay the release of his album. So far, D4vd has not been named a suspect, and no charges have been filed.
However, with the public demanding answers and the case gaining traction nationwide, investigators are turning to digital forensics — and the Tesla could be the linchpin. According to the retired detective, if someone else was driving the car at the time the body was placed there, they could face intense pressure to cooperate in exchange for reduced charges or immunity.
“Once law enforcement knows who was in control of the vehicle, they can start to build leverage,” he said. “And if that person wasn’t acting alone, or if they were just a participant in a larger cover-up, they might be encouraged to flip — to give up the bigger players behind the crime.”
The technology in Tesla vehicles can reportedly capture data such as:
Entry and exit times
Use of keycards or phone keys
Video from external cameras
In-cabin video (in newer models)
Seat occupancy and safety belt usage
Navigation history
Experts say this level of data could allow investigators to create a nearly minute-by-minute timeline, showing who accessed the car and where it traveled around the time of the girl’s disappearance.
Meanwhile, public pressure continues to mount, with fans and critics divided over D4vd’s silence. His team maintains that he is cooperating fully, but as the investigation deepens, that cooperation may soon involve sharing the vehicle’s data directly with authorities.
If the Tesla reveals a second person’s involvement, the case could shift rapidly — and that driver, once identified, may face a crucial decision: protect themselves or protect someone else.
As the former detective put it: “Digital evidence doesn’t lie. The car may end up telling the truth nobody else will.”
