Highest Safety Rating in America
THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION
Model S is designed from the ground up to be the safest car on the road, as
proven by a 5-star rating in all categories of the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) crash test. Much of its safety is owed to the unique electric
drivetrain that sits beneath the car’s aluminum occupant cell in its own subframe. This
unique positioning lowers the car’s center of gravity, which improves handling and
minimizes rollover risk, and replaces the heavy engine block with impact absorbing
boron steel rails.
Side impacts are met by aluminum pillars reinforced with steel rails to reduce
intrusion, protecting occupants and the battery pack while improving roof stiffness.
In the event of an accident, eight airbags protect front and rear occupants, and the
battery system automatically disconnects the main power source. Should the worst
happen, there is no safer car to be in than Model S.
