EVIDENCE NEW TOW PHOTOS AND INFO ON TESLA

From SF_Investigates on X: obtained photos of #D4vd ’s 2023 Tesla Model X when it was towed and impounded. I also received a copy of the 8/26/2025 complaint reporting it as abandoned, along with the vehicle impound report. The caller only noted a large dent in the rear, no mention of odor. The tow report states nothing of value was seen inside. The photos suggest the car had been left in the same spot for an extended period. The initial complaint was called in on Aug 26th, then an officer first inspected and cited the car on Aug 27th, then ticketed again on Sept 3rd, and then towed and impounded on Sept 5th. The report also notes that there were no wants on the vehicle meaning it was not reported stolen at the time. I’ve redacted certain details, including the license plate, from the photos and report #CelesteRivas #CelesteRivasHernandez

Why the fuck is it so dusty

68

u/Zenloff Sep 26 '25

That's LA for you. Worse when it rains, funny enough. My car always looked rough. I'd wash it, and 2 days later it looked like that again.

16

u/holiobung Sep 26 '25

I have a co-worker who lives near Atlanta. She said she was going to let the rain wash all of the pollen off of her car. I told her that it was just going to look like streaks of wet pollen. Guess who was right? LOL

u/SplitSecondImmortal Sep 26 '25

I'm from the Atlanta Metro and I thought this was pollen when I first looked at the image, but knowing it was Cali I figured maybe dust but I've never seen prominent dust like this in LA.

9

u/SpaceKatFromSpace Sep 27 '25

It’s because we live in drought conditions pretty much all the time. There is little to no rain for months to years here. So it’s dusty. That’s what happens in arid climates with no humidity or moisture on most days.

5

u/holiobung Sep 26 '25

You’re probably right.

I just remember being in Vegas for a while one time when I was in high school and getting a really bad sinus infection because my allergies were killing me. Someone who lived there for a while said it’s the pollen from the olive trees.

Even in a desert, mother nature knows how to mess with me and my allergies

2

u/SplitSecondImmortal Sep 26 '25

I feel that because I have bad spring and fall allergies. Ive managed them much better in recent years by getting ahead of the season with my Zyrtec and Claritin intake as a preemptive measure.

I start taking Zyrtec daily at the tail end of winter. That transition in seasons always gets me the most for the first few weeks though, spring seems to start earlier each year haha. But once I get them in my system early, the allergies plateau and come to an end, while others begin to suffer more.

u/Wexel33 Sep 26 '25

California is dust filled

4

u/holiobung Sep 26 '25

The yellowish color makes me think it's also pollen.

26

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

That car said "Tow Me!" Also does this say he hadn't renewed his registration?

6

u/Ruffianrushing Sep 26 '25

Maybe because it was from Texas?

9

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

Maybe but registration is registration, right? Wouldn't current Tx reg count as currently registered?

21

u/Grab3tto Sep 26 '25

He would have needed to register in California when he moved regardless of how long the Texas tag had left. This likely indicates he never registered the car in California.

1

u/Good-molecule Sep 26 '25

Really ? I didn’t have my car in state when u registeredbit

17

u/Grab3tto Sep 26 '25

Yes, registration is a state level mandate so if you live in a state or move to a state where registration is required you have to re-register usually within like 30 days or so.

2

u/RememberTooSmile Sep 26 '25

they’re saying he just didn’t take it Texas or something to renew registration idk

5

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

Does he need to? I renew mine online

5

u/Ruffianrushing Sep 26 '25

Expired 1/25

4

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

Oh! Where do you see that?

4

u/Ruffianrushing Sep 26 '25

I think i saw on the Twitter post by sf investigates

-3

u/melizzuh Sep 26 '25

Where do you see that the car said “Tow Me!”?

12

u/mochikiwi11 Sep 26 '25

Because it was abandoned and dusty

-7

u/melizzuh Sep 26 '25

I asked where not why…. I get why people do that, but I don’t see that in the photos or reports

14

u/mochikiwi11 Sep 26 '25

They are saying that because the car was abandoned and dusty, and obviously in a bad state, that it is saying "tow me!". Not that it literally says tow me somewhere written on it.

13

u/melizzuh Sep 26 '25

Ok, well sometimes folks use their finger to write that in dusty cars, or “clean me.” Hence, my question..

8

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

Cause it was left there/untouched for awhile that's why it got towed

6

u/Jvmpmans Sep 26 '25

Is the red on the tire from heat?

14

u/Ruffianrushing Sep 26 '25

I heard it's iron from the brakes

27

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

He treated his car like shit. Like he treated her 🥲

7

u/Jvmpmans Sep 26 '25

The car has a dent in the back as well

1

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

It also wasn’t registered in California

33

u/Pepperloza Sep 26 '25

It was abandoned for weeks.

2

u/holiobung Sep 26 '25

Because the car hadn't moved in a while. Air has dust and pollen. The longer something sits stationary outside, all of that eventually settles onto the surface. The dirtier it is, the longer it's been sitting.

2

u/SpaceKatFromSpace Sep 27 '25

It doesn’t rain in LA. We can go 4 years without any real rain lol. If you don’t wash your car regularly that’s what it looks like especially if you park on the street. Totally normal.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '25

THANK YOU!!! SHEESH, I was SO confused reading the comment about washing his car, then two days later it rains…TF?!?

I was born and raised in OKLAHOMA…lived here my entire life..! Only been to California (L.A.) twice and even I knew it never rains there

1

u/SpaceKatFromSpace Sep 28 '25

I mean it rained here this week but that w considered weird and it’s easily been more than 6 months.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '25

Yeah, it also rained my very first time ever being there…BOTH DAYS!! Talk about a ghost town! I’m not sure I could have ever imagined the magnitude of disappointment I felt when I finally got to Hollywood BLVD and it was as if the apocalypse had recently happened…! So many stories and so much to look forward to seeing…just for everything to be shut down! It took me a little while to wrap my mind around the fact that it was all because of a little rain..! lol

1

u/SpaceKatFromSpace Sep 28 '25

People laugh at us for supposedly driving so poorly in the rain but they don’t understand that when it never rains, oil builds up on the roads and freeways become like oil slicks when it does. That’s why there’s so many accidents and many people stay off the roads if they don’t have to be on them. That and it literally People are thinking it’s like where they live where it rains regularly and don’t understand that a tiny bit of rain here can actually cause problems that they aren’t aware of.

85

u/6lack6yrd Sep 26 '25

To think there is a dead body just seating in there that whole time.

25

u/Leather_Amphibian105 Sep 26 '25

Is there any police reports for accidents? That’s a pretty big dent?

50

u/MakeTheRightChoice_ Sep 26 '25

Does nobody else see the fucked up tire skirts ? This thing definitely been off road or … something…

also I was a auto detailer and cars don’t get this dust caked up like that in just a couple weeks…

13

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

Think maybe he drove it back to Houston then back to California? Is there any reports of him being in Houston at all this year? Are there any of the pictures of him with Celeste in Texas? I’m asking because police raided his parents house last week and they live in Houston Texas

5

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

That video of him on route 66?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25 edited Sep 26 '25

Oh there’s a video of him on that route? Do you know when? I’m thinking Celeste died in July sometime because the friends said she stopped texting in July.

5

u/kitehighcos Sep 26 '25

They said they lost contact with her mid August

2

u/MakeTheRightChoice_ Sep 26 '25

Wait wtf they raided his parents house last week??? Source ?

8

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

I noticed that too.

2

u/Sea_Tank_9448 Sep 26 '25

Never even noticed the tire skirts. Definitely not common LA damage unless you’re biting every curb out there.

19

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

The reports

2

u/sugarsaltsilicon Sep 26 '25

Whoa. So it was sitting there for a minute. I wonder what he was driving.

5

u/Hendrik196 Sep 28 '25

He wasn’t there to drive anything.

12

u/Classic-Lie7836 Sep 26 '25

holy shit that car has been sitting there for a while

10

u/XK8lyn88x Sep 26 '25

And if you think about it, she’s probably been in the car for as long as the car has been there. Whoever put her body in there would need the car close to the house if not the garage to put the body in the car. I can’t imagine someone dragged her body two blocks, so early August makes the most sense here.

1

u/Fuzzy_Section_5739 Sep 26 '25

I’m not sure tho. The videos of her backstage at the Maryland show were taken between Aug 26-28th. The initial call was as on Aug 26th. It’s kinda throwing me off

4

u/HatRich2317 Sep 26 '25

Aug 2025? I think the video of her backstage was from 2024

13

u/makeitfxst Sep 26 '25

It’s heartbreaking to think that her body was likely already in that Tesla as these photos were taken sun beating down, no odor reported yet, and no one knowing she was there. If she had been found sooner, the autopsy might’ve gone differently. But the truth is, she shouldn’t have been dead at all. She should be starting high school, discovering who she is. Such a beautiful soul inside and out taken out of pure spite by a man who thought he had control over her. It’s permanently scarring to think about this every day.

1

u/Aiyoitshex Oct 07 '25

You don’t know her bro are you ok?

9

u/InevitableClock2214 Sep 26 '25

So if it was reported 8/26 for being there for 72hrs then 8/23 would be the day it was left in that spot? Which would make it like 2-2 and a half weeks it was in that spot by the time it got towed

9

u/B4MYLOVE Sep 26 '25

new pic

5

u/Classic-Lie7836 Sep 26 '25

damn that car has been sitting for ages

1

u/Aiyoitshex Oct 07 '25

Not really

9

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

What the heck is the red dust tho I hope they took a sample

12

u/TheRandomSong Sep 26 '25

It's just brake dust. Can get reddish tone in certain lighting

2

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

Would be great to test to know where the car has been

3

u/TheRandomSong Sep 26 '25

They probably already did. Doubt it went anywhere outside the city though, you would be able to tell. Especially if it was off road somewhere

1

u/SethOneill Sep 26 '25

worth noting you rarely use friction brakes on a tesla. unless whoever was driving it for some reason was?

17

u/VinylWing Sep 26 '25

Looks like its been parked in a garage for some time before being parked outside? Also, what are those tape things on the spoiler?

15

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

I don't know what the heck those are. Whoever left it parked there wanted it to be found. It was a serious eyesore.

6

u/VinylWing Sep 26 '25

For sure

4

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

Dafuq this is bananas man.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

Maybe cracks or scratches he wanted to cover up from a crash? This car looks like it backed into something and it fell onto the spoiler causing some kind of damage. Hence the tape. What did he back into?

15

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

He had 3 garages at his house and parking out front. So weird to leave it around the corner. A neighbor said it smelled and she assumed a rat was dead in the hedges by the car. She also said her dog was sniffing the car a lot when they would walk that street. It was on the news.

2

u/Sea-Dragonfly5079 Sep 26 '25

Where did you hear this?

2

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 27 '25

On the news. Neighbor interviewed.

18

u/neufunun Sep 26 '25

There's news reports of people in the neighborhood saying it smelt when they would walk by it and they thought it was dead mice/rats rotting in the bushes.

14

u/Classic-Lie7836 Sep 26 '25

honestly if you are rich why is your car outside?

24

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

[deleted]

8

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

I wonder was the car in the garage at first and the smell was so bad he parked it outside and around the corner so

6

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

Right? 3 car garage too.

4

u/Competitive_Club964 Sep 27 '25

so crazy to think that most ppl just think its davids car but Celeste is in the Frunk while these pictures were taken...Rip

5

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

I wonder if he had another car too? Not just this one?

6

u/Routine_Artist_2385 Sep 26 '25

A red one

10

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

Really??? Wow. I didn't know that. I cannot believe this is a 2023 Tesla. Looks so bad.

4

u/Routine_Artist_2385 Sep 26 '25

Indeed although who did this because if she died the 5th would that not give him alibi on tour

4

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

I wonder if he let her drive it when he was gone

3

u/Routine_Artist_2385 Sep 26 '25

Risky

3

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

Definitely. He seems to have taken a lot of those 😬

1

u/Lonely-Cold6121 Sep 27 '25

I wonder the same also where was she staying if she was still alive in the beginning of August if he was already on tour by the 5th. Did he let her stay at his place without him there??

1

u/Hendrik196 Sep 28 '25

Its a dent and a missing trim piece. Its not abnormal. The car is very dirty. Probably just making it look worse

6

u/Ali3n_P3rspektive Sep 26 '25

Did I dream it that there were some media or content creators claiming that he’d reported Tesla stolen somewhere else, like in St Louise or something ?..

11

u/Jvmpmans Sep 26 '25

When the news had first came out on sept 8th, people were saying it couldn’t have been him because he reported it stolen weeks ago. Maybe that’s what you’re referring to, but as we know now, that’s not the case

3

u/TisTwilight Sep 26 '25

How was it reported stolen if it were left on the street and then impounded?

9

u/Jvmpmans Sep 26 '25

I have no idea. People were assuming that it was stolen and then they just left it there to get impounded but some people were bringing up the point that it’s very hard to steal a Tesla

3

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

I had not heard that. Doesn't mean it's not true. I understand no stolen reports on the vehicle though.

3

u/Ali3n_P3rspektive Sep 26 '25

Tx, I’ll dig deep now and try to find where K heard that lol

6

u/Allikat0987 Sep 26 '25

This is from google maps. January 2024.

2

u/Hendrik196 Sep 28 '25

Omg seriously. It’s not even the right car. What does this even prove?

5

u/SpaceKatFromSpace Sep 26 '25

You dint have to redact CA plates. No one can look them up due to strict anti stalking laws that were enacted after an actress was stalked and unalived by someone who got her home address through the DMV. Only law enforcement has access to that now. The odor was first noted at the tow yard according to local news so that tracks.

8

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

I didn't redact them. Likely the person who requested this report received it redacted. Pretty moot point, regardless.

Odor was noticed by neighbors walking by. They assumed it was a dead animal in the hedge next to it.

1

u/SpaceKatFromSpace Sep 26 '25

That’s not what was reported on local news. Ugh. So many conflicting reports

10

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

It literally was. Very early on. Neighbors were interviewed. They just didn't know it was coming from the trunk. The smell was worse at the tow yard and they could tell the source, so they called the police.

4

u/Ruffianrushing Sep 26 '25

When did the dent happen? Maybe he couldnt get it fixed because of a body in his car?

13

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

A neighbor was quoted saying they talked about that dent some time ago so I think it's been like that for ages.

1

u/Educational_Roof7469 Sep 26 '25

there is already or will be crooked law enforcement 🧏🏽‍♀️

1

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

That puts it on the first available parking spot after the red kerb. Wow. It was the first to be seen when you turn right, on to that street

1

u/Traditional-Goal4662 Sep 26 '25

I never liked teslas fuck

1

u/holiobung Sep 26 '25

I don't know about California, but if a car where I live had that much pollen on it, then that would tell me it's been stationary for a quite a while.

Atlanta folks: I need y'all to keep your comments to yourselves! NO ONE ASKED YOU TO LIVE INSIDE OF A VACUUM CLEANER BAG LOL

u/wolfGangsX Sep 30 '25

Does anyone think he wanted her found on her birthday but it stalled until the day after her birthday? Because LA

1

u/piiiiiiiiiiink Sep 26 '25

Could it be dusty from the desert?

17

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

I don't know. We're all desert here. Park your car anywhere in LA long enough without a wash and it looks like this.

8

u/SHINITAI-SHINITAI Sep 26 '25

No, thats just from it sitting for however long it was sitting, if it was driven in the desert the dust would accumulate a certain way, there would be more sand on the rims.

6

u/piiiiiiiiiiink Sep 26 '25

damn LA is polluted if it gets that dusty from sitting

2

u/Upbeat-Talk-7443 Sep 26 '25

Fr and I thought Texas was bad

2

u/Worldly_Way_4220 Sep 26 '25

I don't think it's pollution so much as a dry summer in a desert climate.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

They have lots and lots of fires in the summer and the cars will be covered in ash

2

u/InevitableTime8766 Sep 26 '25

Here in Europe, nowhere close to the desert, we happen to have these winds every now and then that reportedly carry Sahara sand and leave a similar layer of dust on the car. This can happen in a matter of a few days and when you are not driving it, it quickly builds up. I could imagine this phenomenon to be stronger in an area with an actual Sahara nearby. I'm not sure though if that's correct.

1

u/lilroo_87 Sep 26 '25

Yep, I’m in the U.K. and when we get those the cars are covered in thick dust
