In truth, Teslas are among the safest cars ever produced.
Elon Musk also said this at the most recent shareholder meeting. Their vehicles have repeatedly shown to be extremely safe when put to the test.
OK, these are the numbers;
The Model Y passed the most recent and rigorous safety test administered by Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Program) with a score of roughly 92%, beating out the closest competitor's 82%.
When the model 3 was also subjected to a frontal offset test, it performed exceptionally well. During this test, which was also conducted by Euro NCAP, the lack of an engine in the front region of the car let the vehicle's crumple zone absorb all the impact during a collision, leaving the occupants unharmed.
When further tests like those for the vehicle's roof strength, head restraints, and autonomous driving assistance systems were conducted, the model 3 once again got top overall scores.
In a rollover test, the Model X stunned many engineers since it did not tip over despite repeated attempts to make a much taller car with a greater center of gravity do so.
I've seen in the news a Tesla fall off a California cliff of about 250 feet, where all 4 occupants walked out of the vehicle with little injury; this would have been fatal if it was any other vehicle, for sure.
