2017 Tesla Model X Side Crash Test

Side crash test for 2017 Tesla Model X 75D

NHTSA New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) Side Impact:
Crash test dummies representing an average-sized adult male and a small-sized adult female are placed in the driver and rear passenger seats (driver's side), respectively, and are secured with seat belts. The side crash rating represents an intersection-type collision by having a 3,015 pound (1367kg) barrier moving at 38.5 mph (62km/h) into a standing vehicle. The moving barrier is covered with material that is crushable to replicate the front of a vehicle. 1 star is the lowest rating; 5 stars is the highest. More stars equal safer cars.

Overall Rating: 5-Star
Frontal Crash Rating: 5-Star
Side Crash Rating: 5-Star
Rollover Rating: 5-Star

Tesla Model X is the first SUV ever to achieve 5-Star in every category and sub-category.

That side structure is very strong. Excellent job Tesla

[JackOfJudges]

The broken glass is such a cool effect.

[kracknkona]

Very good result! A+ with a shot of nothing but safe!

[DungeonsHeroes]

hmmm i think the glass mostly breaks because of the "explosion" from the airbags and not so much from the actual crush! still i feel safe watching this!

[jamieh]

I can't feel my arms! *I CANT FEEL MY ARMS!*

[usfdave]

Awesome!
But what about those lifted trucks driven all over the road now. Their bumpers don't make contact at the same height shown here.

[utkuaraz]

0:35 broken glass is looks like marvel or dc movie effect..
Slow motion and camera is perfect.. And absolutely Model X to.. :D

What is the weight of that cart that hits the car? Looks to be very light as it bumps after the hit, so it doesn't show a 'real' collision scenario in here. What's the point?

[louicoleman]

Wow, you could completely walk out of that

[roadykim]

If you look in the thumbnail you could see a two trucks and also in the video.the trucks are a Dodge Ram 1500 and a semi truck I don’t know

[zaten-p]

the car's still intact!... apart from the glass of course.

[colerexel]

Hurts to watch them crash a $100, 000 car

[fewik]

0:34 kinda looks like a game adverts or film or something

[damiand]

Wouldn’t doubt it still drives after this

[julianberger]

Will we see the (not working)flip over test?

[GatlinburgFunHouse]

Too low and too centered for more severe impact.

[muscless]

Well now we know why that guy keeps crashing, he keeps driving with no arms.

[lizzyfloppet]

I feel like tesla is better that XC90 in looks and the xc90 is more practical so i dont know

[mwbangbros]

Warum ist der Crashwagen so hoch? Ein normales auto ist ca 11cm über dem Boden. Die test spiegelt nicht die Realität wieder. Im normalfall wäre der akku beschädigt worden. Aber es würde ja dunm aussehen, wenn die karre beim testen schon abbrennt 🤦🤦🤦

[ExMachina]

Was I the only one that said "boom" when the window exploded?
