How the Model Y outperforms the Model 3 on IIHS crash tests!

The Model 3 was one of the safest cars ever tested when initially released. Now, crash tests of the Model Y show how Tesla used lessons learned from the sedan in creating an even safer crossover.

I agree. Thank you!! Could you do one for S/X? And compared to 3/Y and other EVs? Thanks again!

Slow it right down at 4:19. You will see the side airbags inflate over the side windows before the glass shatters, thus stopping most of the glass flying into the passengers. Great video with great explainations

Very fascinating info. M3 is safe but MY is even SAFER. That is amazing. I get why people want the Y more and more.

2:49, to me the compression stopped further away from the comaprtment in the model 3 (look at the door damage on the Y)

Glosses over why the rear passenger in the tbone scored twice as bad in the Y over the 3

@TheTechofTech 2 жыл бұрын

It’s not clear why. However the score is still below the level considered to be a risk of concussion.

@rudyyyxu 2 жыл бұрын

I believe the increased the intrusion in small overlap crash in the 3 is a one-off. If you look at the passenger side test the result was much better. I have heard it was because one of the weld points not being done right. The Y definitely redirects energy better.

@TheTechofTech 2 жыл бұрын

I’d love to see a source of that info. The IIHS testing protocol calls for retesting in such cases, but they didn’t retest.

@rudyyyxu 2 жыл бұрын

@@TheTechofTech the C-Iasi which is the Chinese equivalent tested the model 3 also. The lower foot intrusion is a lot less visible and the A pillar didn’t have the slight buckle. I don’t think the Chinese changed the design? It was just built to the design standard unlike the Fremont test car.

@TheTechofTech 2 жыл бұрын

Again, do you have a source saying this? If the IIHS discovered that Tesla was selling cars that had a defect that impacted safety, it would be news. They would then retest the correctly made vehicle.

@rudyyyxu 2 жыл бұрын

@@TheTechofTech well frankly I don't know of a credible source other than IIHS and Ciasi's official website. But as I have pointed out there have been two other small overlap tests done by these two institutes on the model 3 that yielded far better results for the lower leg region. In terms of why didn't go for a retest I can only speculate. Maybe because it already received the highest safety accolade?

@TheTechofTech 2 жыл бұрын

I don’t doubt the different results. However, to claim the difference is due to a manufacturing defect on the IIHS test unit needs to be supported with a credible source. Otherwise, it is difficult to believe given how significant a finding that alone would be.

@matthewmooney4301 Жыл бұрын

Actually, the IIHS good/acceptable boundary is an HIC-15 at 560 if you look at small overlap injury rating guidelines. Also, an HIC-15 is the concussion boundary in football, not the IIHS crash test.

I felt the same way when the Model 3 crash tests started rolling out. We bought the Model 3 on the faith that Tesla truly does make the safest vehicles they know how, and they keep proving that they do.

Would love to see comparison of safety for other road participants (pedestrians, other vehicles). I assume that Model 3 is more safe because it is a sedan

Not sure that’s possible without a significant redesign of the roof. The Model Y has taller B-pillars and more space between the cross braces than the Model 3, and there’s no easy way to change that.

Thanks for the crash test coverage. The tests are indeed artificial in nature, and don't reflect all real world results. Minor differences in the offset crashes may not make much practical difference in real world crashes. That all said, Tesla's are clearly the safest vehicle on the road, both from crash test data, and real world crashes, which they also avoid better than most cars due to highly-advanced active safety features.
