And what evidence usually exists of a third person in a non-Tesla missing-driver crash? Look, all I'm saying is that if this was literally any other car, we would all see this evidence and say "Yup, looks like a drunk driver fled the scene of an accident". It would be an obvious conclusion. We wouldn't be scratching our heads saying "Well, gee whiz, maybe there's some other explanation we haven't thought of". This is not the first time police have found a crashed car with no driver. The only difference this time is that it's a Tesla.

The difference is that there were two people in the car, one of which was the driver (and owner) of the car. But you are right to suggest that the police are themselves jumping to conclusions. Just because the accident happened in a tesla, doesn't mean that self-driving was somehow involved. I don't disagree about that. I disagree about the necessity of assuming a third person, when the two present suffice to have caused the accident and when there is nothing to indicate that a third person was involved. Finally, assuming a third person introduces a new question: who was it? Do you know?
