One of the standout features of Tesla vehicles that contribute to their safety ratings is their unique design, particularly the absence of a traditional engine. Instead of a bulky engine block at the front, Teslas rely on a robust structure of steel and aluminum that crumples upon impact, effectively absorbing energy and reducing the force transmitted to passengers.
Another critical aspect of Tesla’s safety is their low center of gravity, primarily due to the placement of heavy battery packs and electric motors. This design minimizes rollover risks, a factor that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has recognized, particularly in the Model Y, which boasts the lowest rollover risk of any SUV ever made.
