As reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, police requested a warrant and towed a Tesla to acquire its camera data.

I know that Tesla vehicles contain external surveillance cameras in order to protect their drivers from theft and/or liability in accidents. Based on this information, I respectfully request that a warrant is authorized to seize this vehicle from the La Quinta Inn parking lot, so this vehicle’s surveillance footage may be searched via an additional search warrant at a secure location.

Finally these cars are worth something.

The other suggestion I’ve heard lately in San Francisco is for parked Tesla to leave open the sunroof so local residents can fill with garbage, like a shiny dumpster. Once full, Tesla garbage cars then drive themselves to the dump.
