I never claimed they were the safest car, only among the safest cars. That said, your assertion is incorrect.
Sure Tesla cars have had quality issues in the past but I’m not sure what some panel gaps or rattles has to do with safety, let alone the unfounded assumption that a safety belt failed. I think I’ll go with the people who’s job it is to test these things, myself but to each their own.
I was not aware of a Australasian New Car Assessment Program. They seem to have received alot of criticism for their testing methodology being inconsistent. Yes it is a safe car.
I just said it would be on brand for Tesla. They have also had pedals and steering wheels falling off, rain and light sensors not working as expected. Those are not cosmetical and also things I would consider essential to a cars safety. It would be quite stupid to send a car with a loose steeringwheel to any of the testing agencies… if I were Tesla I would pay good money to mitigate something like that happening…
