Top Speed Test – Tesla Model S P85 Gets Driven on the Autobahn

Esben Pedersen, Communications Manager Scandinavia, has said that the NCAP testing will most probably be performed later this year.

By the time the NCAP testing is performed, the Model S will require an Autonomous Emergency Braking System, or be automatically downgraded from five to four stars. It is expected that when Tesla installs an AEB System, they will also include adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning. Possibly also blind spot detection.

I'm fine with it getting 4 stars for lacking AEB. I'm not fine with it getting 4 stars for bad whiplash protection. So in my opinion, they should test as soon as possible.
