Disclaimer again: solely my own opinions.
This is where you have to consider the whole safety design.
In the video, the pole does intrude into the cabin more on non-Tesla vehicles; however, that means that more (de)-acceleration is passed on to the occupants of the Tesla. That is the purpose of crush zones, and also why no-context footage of crash tests can be very misleading.
Additionally, there are side curtain airbags that will deploy before the pole actually gets to where the occupants' head would be.
