Just as the Tesla Store opened at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, the automaker's Model S became the first car to receive a 5-star safety rating in every category.
How safe?
The Model S is so tough, it actually destroyed one of the machines used in the crash tests!
Take a closer look at the World's Safest Car at Montgomery Mall, or from your easy chair with these new photos.
You may notice the red Model S I showed you in my exclusive sneak preview of the Tesla Store has been switched with another color.
If you can't afford the car, you can still buy Tesla swag, including caps and T-shirts.
Something to note for Tesla followers
ReplyDelete" The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is pushing back on Tesla Motors' claim that its Model S car had a crash test rating greater than five stars. The car, the agency says, was a stellar performer, but not off the scale as its manufacturer claims.
On Safercar.gov, the branch of NHTSA that specializes in car safety, the Tesla Model S scored five stars in all of the crash test categories: no less, and definitely no more. "
