The article did say it had been in an accident.

To be fair, there’s a very good chance that the guy standing over there is planning to rob someone. I can’t really see any other reason it would be there.

To be fair, there’s a very good chance that someone who defends its privacy has something to hide. I can’t really see any other reason it would do that.

To be fair, there’s a very good chance that the money you're carrying in your backpack was stolen. I can’t really see any other reason it would be there.

Literally none of these work as analogs. Why else would a Tesla be in a junkyard?

They only fail as analogues because you don't realize that a self-driving Tesla is sentient. It says something about the state of junkyards that a self-driving car would choose suicide rather than continue to exist in one.
