&quot;Tesla actually takes a great attitude on this with regard to vehicle crash safety. They take minimizing fatalities super seriously. The kinds of collisions that all other automakers would&#x27;ve written off as &quot;Well man, we can&#x27;t stop people from driving into poles at 80 mph&quot;, Tesla notes and does everything they can to make sure the occupants can walk away.&quot;<p>Eh. This is a bit too brown nose for me.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.iihs.org&#x2F;iihs&#x2F;ratings&#x2F;TSP-List" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.iihs.org&#x2F;iihs&#x2F;ratings&#x2F;TSP-List</a><p>Current IIHS &quot;Top Safety Picks&quot;.<p>There&#x27;s some discussion about why Tesla isn&#x27;t on the list, including that they&#x27;ve not submitted it - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.torquenews.com&#x2F;1083&#x2F;why-tesla-s-2014-model-s-cannot-earn-us-top-safety-rating" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.torquenews.com&#x2F;1083&#x2F;why-tesla-s-2014-model-s-cann...</a><p>but there are valid comments in there that even if submitted, while it would do very well, might struggle in some areas.<p>To go from that to your &quot;all other automakers would write off&quot; is a generalization that frankly doesn&#x27;t fit reality.
