TESLA MODEL S ACHIEVES BEST SAFETY RATING OF ANY CAR EVER TESTED
SETS NEW NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY SCORE RECORD
MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 2013
Palo Alto, CA — Independent testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has awarded the Tesla Model S a 5-star safety rating, not just overall, but in every subcategory without exception. Approximately one percent of all cars tested by the federal government achieve 5 stars across the board. NHTSA does not publish a star rating above 5, however safety levels better than 5 stars are captured in the overall Vehicle Safety Score (VSS) provided to manufacturers, where the Model S achieved a new combined record of 5.4 stars.

It's not like they're manufacturing daewoos. Bribes don't have to be in the millions, if anything the worth of a single tesla s would satisfy a couple pockets

Turns out hybrids already are dominating F1, I just learned that all modern F1 cars are hybrids. Check out the insane noises made by this monster leaving the pits.

I'll stick with gas engines. Prefer to work on my own car and have affordable parts when they break.

There are some new consumer exotics with hybrid systems like the type found in F1 cars, such as the Mclaren P1.
