According to a report on wired.com, Tesla Motors' TSLA Model S received five stars across the board from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and even broke the testing equipment at an independent commercial facility!
So what's the reason behind the Model S's success? according to the wired report, its the electric drivetrain, which allowed the engineers to include more "sacrifice space" as well as the low mounting of the battery, which provide a more rigid case around the occupants.
Additionally, the report noted any concerns about how the battery will hold up in a crash have been laid to rest; throughout the tests, the lithium-ion battery did not experience any leakage or fires.
