Michael A. Gonzalez, 31, who listed the Champlain Inn at 165 Shelburne Road in Burlington as his current address, is charged with trying to peddle the stolen 2019 Tesla X, valued at about $115,000, at an auto shop in Seabrook, N.H. on Jan. 17, town police reported.

Federal Court records in Vermont noted Gonzalez fraudulently obtained the luxury car from a Tesla dealer in Mount Kisco, N.Y. in July 2019.
It was unclear where the Tesla has been stashed because Gonzalez only got out of jail on Jan. 8. He had been in custody on state and federal charges, including a federal count of trying to buy a firearm at a Williston gun shop while he was still facing a state felony charge of aggravated domestic assault, records show.
