The original owner of the Tesla that crashed in The Woodlands earlier this month killing two people spoke to KPRC 2.
It’s been nearly two weeks since the fiery crash that killed Memorial Hermann doctor William Varner and his friend Everette Talbot on April 17.
Was or wasn’t there someone behind the wheel? Law enforcement officials said no one was sitting in the driver’s seat. Tesla said there had to have been because the steering wheel was deformed.
Jeff Rubenstein of Sugar Land told KPRC2 that he sold the Model S performance car to Varner in perfect condition this past January off eBay. Rubenstein said he never met the doctor in person because Varner sent a truck to pick the vehicle up.
