Euro NCAP Safety Tests of Tesla Model S 2022 - Best in Class 2022 - Executive | Pure Electric

Update January 2023: Euro NCAP awarded the 2022 Best in Class Executive | Pure Electric to Tesla Model S.

Euro NCAP January 2023 Press release www.euroncap.c...
Euro NCAP performs a series of crash and safety tests on car models:
a frontal impact test, 50% of the width of the car is striking an oncoming deformable barrier, also travelling at 50 km/h
a frontal impact test, the car impacts a rigid full width barrier
a side impact test, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door and the robustness of the centre airbag is evaluated
a pole test, the tested car is propelled sideways into a rigid pole.
A series of pedestrian tests are conducted with different impactors, adult and child head form, lower and upper leg form and whiplash tests are performed on a sled as well as AEB pedestrian and cyclist tests.
Active safety is tested based on the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking car-to-car scenarios, occupant status monitoring (including seatbelt reminders), lane support and speed assistance technologies.

Having lived driving with a slightly older model, the crash prevention systems are a literal lifesaver.

Perhaps following some driving lessons would be a good idea then... Not-crashing should not be depending primarily on crash prevention systems.

[@meriofrog]

@@nickbien It's not too sensitive, it just wars the driver. We can call it too sensitive when kt brakes to early, which it doesn't.

[@pepstein]

Very impressive results, as expected from Tesla. The side impact and pole tests showed so little deformation! And it alerted so early for pedestrians, giving the driver plenty of time to brake. It’s clear Tesla really does prioritize safety for people inside and outside the car. Kudos to all the hard working engineers at Tesla who worked on these active and passive safety systems.

[@Xanthopteryx]

That is actually pretty bad with too little deformation. Check the G ratings on the head and you will see much higher values compared to a car when you have some more intrusion.

[@rui518]

@@Xanthopteryx not really, you don't have enough material in the side of the car to be able to absorbed, most normal cars it just gets inside the space for the driver/passenger, so being sturdy and allow the airbags to remove momentum is the best approach...

[@Xanthopteryx]

@@rui518 Check G force data and it will show what i mean.

[@rui518]

@@Xanthopteryx I fully get your point, but for example the model s have around 5% intrusion on driver living space. A Volvo s60 that was one of the best was 50%+, it's a game of g force vs blunt force trauma by being compressed inside the seat...

[@Xanthopteryx]

[@gwot]

that doesn't mean it's good... it's super easy to make something sturdy and durable, a non-cracking glass means the energy isn't used up in cracking glass, but diverted elsewhere, worst case your organs. The safest car could be the most crumbled looking one, the ones that look like it just got a scratch could be the worst.

[@paullacey2999]

Worrying you saying that....

[@maxfieldmickel1371]

The number of “titles” this car holds is unbelievably impressive. One of the safest vehicles in its class as evidenced by this video. One of the fastest accelerating production cars (despite being a 5/7 seat LSS!). The lowest/one of the lowest drag coefficients of any production car. The most advanced autonomous + safety features out of any automaker. And arguably some of the most beautiful, timeless & iconic styling (hell, the body style is a decade old, and still looks great-especially with modern touches/refreshes)…. So frickin versatile, overall. All the stuff it has/can do, and yet it can beat any super/hypercar to 60/120+… I’m so proud to own a MSP, after falling in love with the MS a decade ago as a sophomore in high school… I truly believe it will go down in history as one of the greatest vehicles of the 21st century… It’s influence on electric vehicles alone cannot be denied. Made them simultaneously cool, practical, thrilling, and (relatively) affordable, for the first time.

[@robertmandl9326]

Indeed, an impressive vehicle. And considering its power the MSP is rather inexpensive as well. Out of my reach, but then again it would be too much of a car for me anyway. I´m going for a M3LR later this year, if all goes well. Safe driving!

[@JillMC]

Agreed. Considering safety, performance, value, comfort, and practicality, the Model S Plaid is the best car ever made.
