NTSB preliminary report is out:

TL;DR: Tesla's press release (as many suspected) severely downplayed Autopilot's involvement and the driver's interaction level. AP was following car ahead, car ahead changed lanes, AP accelerated straight into the barrier. Even after the Tesla employee de-energized the damaged battery, it still randomly self-ignited twice in the week following the crash.
