Bingo. I knew it from when I saw the design and how well it drives!
This is the kind of news NOT on the news

“Live longer, drive a Tesla” should be their model.

Model 3 achieves the lowest probability of injury of any vehicle ever tested by NHTSA

From Electrek... It beats the Model S and Model X, which are now second and third. Here are the top 50 vehicles over the past 7 years:

Hope I never have to test the safety. But good to know it’s safe. Yay!

These are awesome test results but I wonder how the Model 3 would fare against an SUV or a truck.
I'm guessing quite well, but modeling would be interesting.

Vs truck? Reminded me of this test when I had a MINI.

With this news, my wife just said 'good'. A bit reserved but very happy.

Don't buy VIN 42646!

Can't wait for IIHS test,

Hopefully it can get their recommended+ rating.

Just read all PDF reports. Blog didn't tell everything.

HIC(Head Injury Criterion) of pole test is worse than Accord, Camry, and E-class.

Truly amazing. These results contribute to my mental justification of the expense of buying my Model 3. Even prouder to drive a Tesla!

Just read all PDF reports, not so impressive. HIC(Head Injury Criterion) of side pole is worse than Accord, Camry, and E-class.

Where'd you get the comparisons? Or did you seriously look up all the reports, and compare numbers?

It would be handy to see a comparison, and to see where the Model 3 did so much better to get the "highest lowest probability"

The biggest problem people generally have with NHTSA crash tests is they are viewed as inferior to the IIHS testing. So it's hard to get anyone excited by 5 star ratings from NHTSA.
