Tesla Model 3 Earns Five-Star Crash Safety Rating From NHTSA (jalopnik.com)
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has awarded the Tesla Model 3 with a five-star safety rating -- the highest possible score. This means that every car Tesla has built has earned a five-star rating. Jalopnik reports: The NHTSA tests cover three primary categories: Frontal Crash, Side Crash, and Rollover, and the Model 3 received the highest ratings in all categories. For some categories, it's easy to understand why Teslas do so well. Rollover resistance, for example, makes sense for cars that carry most of their weight at the very bottom, in the batteries sandwiched in the Tesla's chassis design. Other reasons for the remarkable crash safety may be that, without the need for a heavy chunk of metal as a drivetrain, effective and large crumple zones can be designed in, front and rear. The NHTSA has released videos of their frontal collision test, side pole collision test, and side collision test, for those who like watching these sort of things.
It is just a flesh wound, and will be fixed by an OTA.
You can't even figure out how to make a Slashdot account, and we're supposed to believe you had the wherewithal to accumulate all those vehicles?
I'm guessing you're talking about toy model cars, unlike the totally real Koenigsegg and Bugatti Chiron sitting out in my driveway right now. One is for me and the other is for my wife, Morgan Fairchild, which whom I have had sex.
You are welcome on my lawn.
The crash tests results of your motorcycle should be very interesting...
