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.
We placed an order last week. I've been running much older cars (and still do) but the safety advances in the past decade alone are huge and with more and more morons on the road, there comes a point where safety is a very high priority.
Considering the average price for a vehicle now is about $46,000 USD, the tesla is cheaper or average with most everything else out there. Aside from the Chevy bolt, tesla model 3 is by far cheaper than any other EV. $60k+ for a Volkswagen or Kia? Yeah right! Best part of tesla is they give you full performance even on base models. Other EV vehicles always feel like they’re holding out on you and throttling down the power.
Mercedes-Benz has achieved these crash test results since 2011 this is nothing new in the world of vehicle crash testing Tesla engineers have simply copied the hard work and engineering of other German automakers
@@jeanlafrance8746 There is though not through refurbishing, I believe. I watched a video how a former Tesla employee created a company just for recycling almost 100% of battery components/materials.
You can buy those crash test cars and fix them I forgot what the website is but they don't throw them away😊 quick google search and it should pop up. They auction all cars they test. Idk about title status though...
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.
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.
I ordered another TESLA Model Y, all my family and friends have Tesla. It's the safest car in the world. Great job Tesla engineers and Tesla team. Tesla is the future. Thank you Elon Musk.
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..
Myth busters actually tested that, but as in newtons third law of motion every action has a equal and opposite reaction, it is actually the same as crashing into a stationary object, unless they weigh different or are going different speeds in which case one would be sent backwards which is pretty bad....
The objects they are crashing into are non-deformable objects versus when you crash into a moving vehicle of similar mass it is deformable and susceptible to impulse changes and moment of inertia. Physics class are in order for thee.
I always talked smack in teslas. Of course I was just ignorant. I bought one for my family also so to the Apr specials lol I never thought about getting a full ev. Besides its safety, it performs amazingly. The instant torque is incredible (2024 model y performance) although not yet perfect due to the range (270-300 miles on a charge) they will continue to improve. I’m definitely getting another one soon
Thing about this is that it's not just engineered to have the highest safety ratings possible. Combine that with how much better their autopilot is getting over time you'll still have an incredibly safe vehicle with an autopilot capable of driving safer than a human can. Double whammy.
it will be years before FSD actually gets better than a human driver. Full Selfdriving is still far out but Autopilot (however missleading and falsely advertising the name might be, since it is NOT full self driving) is a very good assistant to a human driver. They might had been better off calling it Copilot instead, atleast until actual full self driving is a thing.
Im not sure where you live but where we do my mom switched from a 2008 Ford Escape to a model Y last year and her insurance only went up $10. Because of all the safety features. Same insurance plan too.
Yes the safer a car the lower the premium usually. That being said because Tesla parts are harder to come by so insurance premiums for Teslas are higher than average. Its worth the cost.
Safety protects you, not the car. And car insurance has nothing to do with your health. The expensive car is wrecked either way. What affects insurance rates is how often and expensive that type of car gets in accidents and gets stolen. And your insurance history for your driving and your age. At least where I live. That said the active safety features result in a lower accident rate so the insurance should go down.
It totally depends on the insurance company. Are they looking at this data or not. The people who insure with companies who look at the data say its cheaper to insure this than a Honda Civic. Alternatively if the insurance company doesn’t look at the data, then it’ll be as expensive as any other luxury car at that price.
@@PoliticalJames yup, my moms insured for everything, it’s because teslas have regenerative braking, the insurance is able to be insanely lower than that of a normal car with standard braking systems. You should check with your local insurance to see how much it would cost. Teslas are cheap to insure because the safety is amazing. :)
@@maxd4968if you are not sure then use your google-fu to get the info. and dont count the number of headlines, that is meaningless since vehicle fires are usually ignored if it doesnt involve a Tesla. actually relevant metric is something like "vehicle fires per 100000 miles driven" or "average miles per vehicle fire"
I just wish Tesla would salvage undamaged parts such as batters and e.t.c since it’s still a young company and parts/components are finite. Would reduce the cost of the cars too
EVs are horrible. They depreciate the fastest out of any car and are not reliable. They aren't a good buy for now. Maybe in a few years time things will be different.
You'll be forced to like EVs to when gas prices go through the roof. Not a matter of if, but when. Also like the previous commenter said, why not? It's the future.
In all vehicles I’d like to see thicker centre air bags, there is way too much sore head movement especially from passenger, one day there will be bags in rear of front seats as well.
@Zuchini Noodle Just leave it open or remove it. But WE just used the enormous amount of space available and glovebox items were minimal. Like maybe we put weed in it? But honestly there is nothing I am getting from the glovebox that I needed regularly. Keep my registration in the visor. Wallet in the console. Phone in the console.
@Zuchini Noodle It's actually made to keep privacy intact. Even if someone breaks into your car they won't be able to open the glove box manually as the screen requires a pin before starting the car(optional). You can keep important documents which you need for day to day life. From that point of view it makes sense.
Average working wage can’t afford any new car. New cars are expensive and deprecate a lot in just the first week. 80% of people in the US buy a used car anyways.
I had a huge diesel hit my model 3 and the diesel fish tailed while my car barely even moved. I watched the accident over and over again. I will never buy any other vehicle. ❤
A word to the "tesla" buyers or "tesla" buy-want-a-bes, ask questions about if you need parts or if it is damaged in an accident, how long will you be without a car. If the person is truthful it could be many months or longer. Just ask around in forums first.
Seems a bit tricky to find this data online, but I googled around and found a source that says there are currently 9 standardized tests for production vehicles in the US. It was also stated that most manufacturers use between 30 and 60 vehicles per model tested. If correct, I assume that includes manufacturers' internal testing.

When they said not harming the dummy inside the first thing I thought was all the idiots on the road, not the actually piece of plastic in the crashed vehicle in the video 😂
I think drivers' licences for EVs should carry a special endorsement, like two wheel vehicles and tandem combinations with their CDL qualification. Maybe the CAR is safer, but how about the safety of all OTHER drivers out there with the EVs? The Hummer with an electric motor is much much heavier than other trucks. Not only is this a problem, but the torque in EVs is why EV cars can beat race cars in 0-60. Well, I hope NHTSA has realized that acceleration requires a special skill on the part of the owner. Just as riding a motorcycle requires more skills than a 4 wheel vehicle.
It is very save BUT, you will have to replace the whole car if you get in a crash because some time if you bum something the Tesla will Crumble a-lot and it will be hard for the owner to get out the car
Have seen Teslas post collision? The passenger compartment is almost never compromised. The entire car is destroyed sure but passengers literally open the door and walk out. Check out “wham bam teslacam” on UA-cam, he shows some really horrific crashes but people “walk out”
First of all Tesla crumples when the collision is hard otherwise minor bumps will occur and second of all during an accidental you would like to save yourself or think about I need to replace this car and all??

It's air bags, shaped like a Catcher's mit, seem novel too. I've never seen an air bag that protects on 3 sides like that. Might not be the best judge though.
