    I was involved in an accident about a month ago. The model 3 we were driving hit an 800lbs engine that someone dropped on the interstate at 80MPH. The driver and I only walked away with a few scratches and the car was totaled. These cars are definitely safe!

      @@richarda3659 All automakers want to make safe cars, sure, but even though virtually all cars are very safe today, Tesla still updates their car designs much more often than legacy automakers (because Tesla is much more vertically integrated) and have a higher degree of crash data than what I expect most legacy automakers have. I know legacy automakers also collect crash data silently too, but I'm not sure it's as detailed or to similar degree. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if many automakers specifically design their safety for the official crash tests, rather than for statistical data of real life crashes.

      But they have opened most of their patents to their competition as well.
      The only metric that counts for Tesla is "Pace of Innovation".
      IMO they could show every detail of their current cars, because in a month/year or so, it would be changed again to be better than before.
      The mission of Tesla is, to "accelerate the transition to sustainable transport" and they should help everyone who wants to build safer cars, in the case of this video.
      And also help them to build better electric cars for the acceleration of the transition.
      The competition cant copy much without their culture and vertical integration.
      Sure, as a capitalistic investor, it would be much better to hold everything closed up like everyone else does it but maybe this is a great rolemodel for new companies to build a better world for all of us, not only shareholders of a company.
      As an investor in Tesla I am not worried at all.
      Maybe if any OEM or startup would write their own OS for their factories and/or they would test all their cars like Tesla does and makes changes daily even possible.

    One of the last American businesses doing it the right way. You can make money, while providing a commodity that everyone wants, while innovating /saving the world.

    Armchair Safety expert here-been studying crashes as an amateur for over 20 years. I applaud Tesla for the job they did on the Model Y. In terms of crush measurements and injury measurements, Tesla easily hands down beats the majority of cars out there. I’ve never seen any car come back with lower injury force measurements! Tesla model Y all around is the safest car in the world. Also that’s excellent to see the upper engagement points (load paths) so high up and down low. That’s dedication to detail right there!!! Also kudos to Tesla acing IIHS side impact 2.0. Rockstar performance!!!!!!
