Don’t 90 percent of cars get 5 star ratings?

This. NHTSA tests aren’t all too valuable. More interested to see IIHS and (even better) Euro NCAP etc.

I was just watching thinking, "Why did they crash the ones with the expensive paint and turbine wheels?"

You can check the data yourself. I browsed through all the major auto manufacturers and besides Tesla, I couldn't find one with 5 stars across the board. Most manufacturers had at least 4 stars or greater in every category.

Ratings: Vehicle Safety, Car Seat, Tire

edit: a little confusing, but Overall 5 star does not mean they scored 5 stars across the board. They test Frontal, Side and Rollover. You can get 4 stars in one or more of those categories yet still get a 5 star overall rating.
