As most Tesla fans already know, Tesla’s vehicles are the safest on the road. The Model 3 is the safest car ever tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), whose testing procedures determined Tesla’s newest car has the lowest probability of injury in a collision of any of the over 900 cars NHTSA has tested. In second place is Model S, and in third — you guessed it — Model X.

Later, he received medical attention and his health is good now. Insko generously agreed to answer some questions for CleanTechnica.
