Why Tesla's Model Y Received A 5-Star Crash-Test Rating

I swear those people who crash test cars have the most fun in the car industry lol

[itsvoogle]

The tech stuff is great, but the safety in Teslas is one of the biggest selling points for me. The Cars arent cheap by any means but i feel like that extra piece of mind is absolutely worth it.

[jeanlafrance]

Electric zero emissions, sports car performance, can sit the whole family and it's incredibly safe. Damn

[jasonmandela]

Showed this video to my wife and now we are in the process of ordering 2 Teslas. Amazing engineering.

[srinitaaigaura]

Even when it is the safest car, just remember Rule 0 : Do not crash your car.

[ratuldeoun]

Every vehicle Tesla comes out with receives the highest safety rating because the engineering is so good

[incarswetrust]

That’s why I don’t let my mother in-law drive my Tesla. She’ll survive if she crashes. 😂😂😂

[satsat]

So apparently all S, 3, X, Y models had a great crash rating

[kgftw]

Like I understand extensive testing is needed, but damn, that's a lot of crashed Teslas. They also probably just recycle them.

[yorkleroy]

1:15 He must be talking about me! Lol,

[sibtainraza]

Good to see you all calling it a crossover & not a SUV

[TheChickenKiller]

Makes more sense than the Consumer Reports video

[Geckogold]

This was a huge selling point for me. Sure, the performance is nice, as well as Autopilot and the Supercharger network. But if I or my loved ones ever got in a car accident, I'd want to be in one of the safest cars out there. Cars can be replaced, human lives can't.

[Anigaming-dzgh]

the Y is just the most stable thing i have seen

[ryangardella]

Bought one. This doesn’t mention ALL the incredible pre-collision warnings all Tesla vehicles include as standard features. Thank you Tesla!!!

[galegetget]

This model Y is more stable than my life

[jonassimon]

In Germany the car manufacturers don’t sell their cars if they don’t reach 5 stars in the NCAP. They improve it until they get the fifth star, everything below would be a damage to their reputation.

[Senoranice]

You:fine
The car:kinda fine
Your bank account:crying

[ryankibler]

Once off-roaders realize what a low center of gravity means for them in a electric truck it will be game over for the ICE

[jaimimumbai]

56 kmph is not the danger zone for most cars crashing..
Any test should see what happens at 70 to 80 kms per hour..
Because if two cars are coming at each other than the speed of crash or impact is more..
These tests are only showing what happens if the car crashes in to something stationery like a wall, tree, pole, or another car that's idle..
Looks like all car makers can get around the rules using technical terminology..
All things such seems clearly an eye wash..
