Tesla Designs & Builds its Vehicles with Safety as a Core Principle

Tesla prioritizes safety as a core principle in its vehicles, focusing on protecting occupants and the battery. The company has achieved high safety ratings from car safety testing agencies worldwide and has proven to be safe in real accidents, saving lives and reducing injuries compared to other automakers. Tesla’s VP of Vehicle Engineering, Lars Moravy, explains that the company’s vehicles provide high protection for occupants from injuries, with a low probability of rollover risk and occupant injury. Passive safety systems in Tesla cars, such as the bumper beam, crash can, and underbody casting, absorb impact energy and protect occupants and the battery. Tesla’s new vehicle manufacturing technology also allows for controlled fracture of the underbody casting, ensuring a controlled fracture process. The company’s front-facing safety measures ensure easy door opening after a collision.
