NHTSA Reaffirms Model S 5-Star Safety Rating in All Categories for Model
Year 2014
PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 23, 2013) - The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) has reaffirmed the 5-star safety rating of the
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model S overall and in all subcategories for Model Year
2014, confirming the highest safety rating in America. While Tesla is awaiting
feedback from NHTSA regarding their investigation of recent fire incidents, the
German Federal Motor Transport Authority, Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA), recently
concluded its review of the incidents, finding no manufacturer-related defects
or need for further action.
It is worth noting that a Tesla vehicle is over five times less likely to
experience a fire than the average gasoline car and that there have been zero
serious injuries or deaths for any reason ever, fire or otherwise, in a Model S.
Over the course of more than 100 million miles driven in almost every possible
terrain, weather and crash conditions, the Tesla Model S has consistently
protected its driver and passengers, achieving the best safety track record of
any car on the road.
