Why Tesla's Model X Was The First SUV To Receive A Perfect Crash Test Rating | Business Insider

Or, better yet, just don't buy an SUV.

The Whiplash

Blablablablabla
Show me the video.

I am curious why they don't test rear impacts. It seems like rear impacts are completely ignored.

Best car goes to Tesla. Disadvantage of tesla I see for now are 1st the size and ground clearance. I prefer my SUV as big as crv, rav4. 2nd is price lithium too expensive.

Tesla is a giga chad

Agreed

I do wonder that if safety cannot increase anymore, yet they are spending so much money, I think it's time to switch to a different type of transportation that is much safer. Like a bike.

I'm seeing a lot of idiots here commenting that the sand is cheating?! Wtf, it makes it litteraly EASIER to roll over, im 14 how are there so many dumb people outhere who are adults

Well did they do this when car was on with warm battery? Why do they burn in real life.

$80k isnt bad for an E SUV. My only complaint is that can u really call it an SUV when it still has a Sedan style trunk?

Legend has it when it rolled over it never stayed up right. Elon musk is making a lot of money.

Honestly seen in every crash test
The car's logo will fly and fall down
But tesla .. nothing happened

The Problem is that Tesla have a chance to malfunction
Accelerating instead of Brakes
Automated Driving were Blindsided and crashing other cars

There has to be a reason no other electric vehicle manufacturer has put the battery on the bottom, perhaps because that is a place that's prone to damage when users take their cars in places they shouldn't.

I can just picture all the punctured batteries now...

fires: 😏

Recently my friend died in car accident because he hot ejected from the car😢

Because you don’t have permission to do so……

Not a suv, it’s a robot, wait until your robot says you can’t go somewhere…….it’ll happen……

Don't ask the Fire Departments about EV Fires 🔥

Oh good for Tesla. Still won't buy one tho. Anything attached IN ANY way to Elon Musk won't get a penny of my cash.

Cause money is why

Because the crash tests don't look for issues that are specific to electric cars, like batteries catching on fire and exploding violently on contact with water.

Larger vehicles are generally safer for those in them*

They’re a menace to everyone that’s in a smaller car or not in a vehicle at all

That Tesla is more of a MPV not a SUV though.

20 seconds of actual Tesla footage.

The breaks may be bad, but at least is has a 5 star crash rating

The funniest part is when you see the emergency evacuation procedure which makes it totally redundant cause even without rolling it takes someone with full dexterity so long to get out of the vehicle that should the lithium battery cells beneath the occupants ignite they will wish it had rolled and thrown them from the vehicle.

This car has GTA physics

Ya and what about the other vehicle it hits??? Those cars are so heavy if you get hit by one well let's say it will be bad. A tank versus a car .but of course NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT

Jadi inget cerita abraham ketika mau menghancurkan ka'bah gajahnya tidak mau jalan dan ngamuk.

"But if that Bitxh just so happen to catch on Fire" - Katt Williams

Centre of gravity is so important within engineering design consideration

Though there is no point in buying an SUV if it can't handle going if road like those pointless SUV cross over vehicles. Unless you want an SUV for it's off road abilities they one never be as good as cars like the Falcon's and Commodore's to drive anyway as a daily driver.

all i need now is a quarter million to buy the car with... no worries mate
. I'm working on it

let's not forget about it's perfect autopiloting that definitely didn't cause accidents

What they don’t say is what happens when you get hit by a Tesla.

The only people ejected are idiots not wearing their seatbelt.

Teslas suck

Its not the car that’s dangerous it’s the 1000 batteries beneath your butt.

Garbage

Overall the model x doesn’t have a normal engine it has a battery pack on the floor so it has a lower centre of gravity so it doesn’t roll

If only it wasn't such a shit car

Check the Tesla Stock.

Must be true after that Tesla just rolled 300ft down a cliff

I see all teslas with horrible suspension they bounce all over the place or is it these cali roads

Sure, instead roll over it will explode or caught fire.

So an electric vehicle having massive amount of weight added low makes it safer? Easy, gas SUVs could do same thing, just add a bunch of lead to the bottom. Lol. Also, I heard that one major issue with crash test in electric vehicles, is that the test jigs used are not up to date with the mass of electric vehicles. This means that electric vehicles will do better because their mass is so much greater. This is bad because first off, if a Tesla hits a Tesla, the outcome will be much different. Also it's bad because if the Tesla hits a gas powered car with much less mass, that has car will incur much more damage than it should and probably will result in more injuries. So saying it has great ratings is not really the whole story.

Just don’t let it catch on fire lol

So, this is the result of Elon Musk studying physics then connects it to all jobs.
