The Tesla Model X is a faberge egg of a car, according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk on the Q4 2018 earnings call, but while it may have one-off features like pedestal seats and falcon-wing doors, its DNA has always been that of a Tesla.
This article will focus on Tesla safety, and specifically the safety of the Tesla Model 3. This piece, however, takes a broader look of safety than previous articles. Here at CleanTechnica, we have written a lot about how EVs are safer and why. In fact, I encourage you to read the free report on electric vehicle safety advantages and disadvantages we’ve published. But there’s often more to cover on this topic, and more ways to integrate the various findings.
Tesla has published its quarterly safety report of the fourth quarter of 2018. It shows once again that driving with Autopilot engaged is far safer than not.
In this section of our report “The EV Safety Advantage,” we roll through a handful of clear EV safety benefits, which help to explain electric cars’ better performance in the case of accidents and subsequent insurance claims. We also throw in more safety ratings and charts.
Tesla set record after record in 2018. It passed up automaker after automaker in terms of sales as well as market cap. And it actually started turning a profit. Let’s have a closer look as 2018 comes to a close.
With oil prices hitting their lowest level in more than a year (since October 9, 2017), you might think there isn’t much of a reason to buy a Tesla anymore. Well, I’m here to give you plenty of reasons I’m still glad to be driving electric.
Today or yesterday (depending on where you are), Tesla posted an update on its blog that announced that the Model 3 has the lowest chance of injury in crash of any car the NHTSA has ever tested.
Tesla released a new quarterly safety report for Q3 2018 that hints at a desire to make the safety of its vehicles a more visible differentiator versus the competition. The decision to increase the visibility of vehicle safety data was made earlier this year when certain news prompted Tesla to design and implement a new vehicle data system to provide more meaningful safety data from customer vehicles.
What do you first think when you see a picture of a burning car on Twitter? Tesla of course, since that’s the public service announcement the media has drilled into our head. Also, you know, a gas tank can’t catch fire and blow up. And even if gas was flammable, cars wouldn’t be catching on fire every day, ya know?
The Tesla Model 3 has been awarded a 5 star safety rating in all categories and sub-categories by NHTSA. Some of its competitors have not been so fortunate.
