Tesla Model S achieves best safety rating of any car ever tested
I'm sorry, but as a car enthusiast who spent much of his younger years devouring every ounce of Road&Track/Car&Driver mags, the phrase "any car ever tested" is a bit over the top... I'm almost positive the McLaren F1 (a car 20 years older) fared better than the Tesla in safety testing and was capable of being driven away after the testing finished...<p>F1 @ 30mph: <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20J/XP2_crash_test.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F...</a><p>F1 @ 40mph: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUPq760LC00" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUPq760LC00</a><p>I'm more than willing to acknowledge Tesla has fantastic results, especially for the price... but that top spot still belongs to my childhood automotive idol. ;)
