The sour grapes in this topic is really something. Come on, folks. That looks like a solid test lab doing good work. You don’t **have** to knee-jerk a reflexive anti-Tesla argument every single time, you know.
I‘m sure car manufacturers NEVER noticed that a lot of cars were hit at the side of the hood and not at the door. I mean that is just impossible to detect with the human eye.
Also considering Tesla’s NCAP pedestrian or IIHS scores it is funny how they talk about others focusing on crash tests and not overall safety when they clearly designed the cars for good NHTSA ratings…
That is a very interesting video, and a great use of fleet data by Tesla and something I’ve never thought of.
Pretty awesome that Tesla can make their cars safer with an OTA update.
National standards need to be raised to encourage this type of testing.

Tesla doing safety stuff = bad..

I honestly can’t place this. Is this truly innovative or mostly industry wide practice? I suspect the latter with a few Tesla specific tweaks.
Neither is this a specifically dangerous crash nor are Tesla vehicles well designed for non standardized crashs. But it’s great marketing.
