29. Tesla Model 3 #1 of 26 Safest Electric Cars: iSeeCars
Sun Nov 17, 2024, 12:22 PM
Sunday

The OP article uses data from iSeeCars.com that compares brands but in a deeper dive compares models.
The Tesla Model 3 does not make the list; neither does the Model X or Cybertruck (yuck).

The Model 3 scores 10/10 for safety, based on the same data used to score poorly on the Tesla brand.

Tesla Model 3 Summary
The Tesla Model 3 is widely regarded as the best electric sedan in the world. The Model 3 is also the top-selling EV in the US market by a wide margin. This compact/midsize sedan offers a thrilling driving experience and advanced technology.

Overview
Tesla’s Model 3 has become the benchmark in the EV car world. This sedan now outsells entire brands in America. Fans love the Model 3 because it brought an amazing electric vehicle to shoppers at a, relatively, attainable price point. All Teslas have a large main central screen that operates almost every aspect of the vehicle. Once novel, that approach has gone farther than some shoppers like. There is no head-up display available and no driver information display offered directly ahead of the driver. Tesla also does not offer many traditional luxury features some buyers in the $50K range have come to expect. For example, there is no option for leather seating surfaces. Available in rear- or all-wheel drive, the Model 3 offers performance car driving dynamics in most trims. Its top trims are arguably the best bang for the buck in the performance car market.
