In what sense? Look at European NCAP safety ratings; the Model S is great, but certainly didn't "top anything else". There are quite a few cars with better overall safety ratings.
And speed? Good acceleration, sure. But not faster than anything else. Top speed either. Where does this myth originate?
- jtuente 11y agoI imagine that his basis point is among consumer electric vehicles, which is an admittedly small pool to work from.
- agumonkey 11y agoMaybe I forgot and it was the US standards that had to recalibrate but it was said in a few articles that Model S was above the highest ratings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_S#Safety https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_S#Safety But I now read that there was a rebuttal .. For speed I meant the 0 to 100km/h, but anyway you're right, not the fastest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest_production_cars_by_acceleration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest_production_car... , only number 6. Maybe seeing it faster than a McLaren made me assume it was number one.
