In the frontal 25% offset crash test, it can be clearly seen that the front of the car is seriously damaged, but the structure of the car body and cockpit remains relatively intact, and the A-pillar and the door are not obviously deformed. Airbags and air curtains have played a very good role in protecting internal members, and the living space has not been squeezed. If there is no accident, you can choose this Model 3. Compared with 25% of American IIHS, the A-pillar performance of domestic version of Tesla Model 3 is indeed better than that of American version of Model 3 tested by IIHS. Look at the A-pillar of the American Model 3 below, which is a little deformed.
The overseas version is not as good as the domestic version, and the deformation under the door is obvious, which encroaches on the performance of leg space to some extent. (Of course, the two models are different. The 20 17 Tesla Model 3 was chosen overseas, but this does not prevent us from recognizing that the performance of the domestic Tesla Model 3 is really good). Let's take a look at the side impact, mainly depending on the strength of the car body. The door and B-pillar are obviously sunken and deformed, which will occupy the internal space, but it depends on the protection of the occupants.
The door batten, A-pillar decorative panel and shed roof fell off and cracked, but there was no serious problem, because it was normal for these places to be damaged because the side air curtain was opened, and the air curtain and airbag were also opened in the right position, but the head of the rear passenger collided with the shed roof. Considering that the roof is often made of flannel, sponge, fiberglass and other materials, it will not hurt passengers, but it does not rule out that Model 3 will lose points here.
At present, there is no dynamic video of roof strength, headrest test and AEB test, only live screenshots, but this is basically not a big problem for more mature automobile manufacturers. Moreover, from the front 25% offset crash test and side crash performance that netizens are most concerned about, Model 3 is excellent and the overall stability is relatively stable. It should be no problem to get a straight A.
