r/electricvehicles on Reddit: Are Teslas really the "safest cars on the road"?
February 2, 2023 -

This is something I hear from people occasionally, but is it true, or are they just the safest cars for their size and weight? If a Ford F350 and a Tesla Model 3 crashed head-on, would the Tesla occupants sustain less injuries? After all, the Ford F350 has a significant amount of size and weight on its side. One might say it's not fair to compare vehicles of different weight classes, but I would say it's important to consider the reality of crash scenarios on the road. Ultimately, the safety of a vehicle depends on several factors, such as its design, construction, and equipped safety features. While Teslas have received high safety ratings and have some advanced safety features, I don't believe it's accurate to say they are the safest cars on the road without considering the context of the crash scenario and the comparison to other vehicles in different weight classes.
