What is the safety rating for a Tesla?

I’m in the market for a Tesla. While I’ve learned about the self-driving mode and many of the other tech features, I’m not so sure about how safe they are. What are the safety ratings for Teslas?

Tesla offers plenty of gadgets and high-tech features, but you’ll be glad to know that regardless of whether you buy a
Tesla Model 3
or
Model Y
, you’re in safe hands. The safety rating for all Tesla models is 5 out of 5 stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Moreover, both the Tesla Model 3 and the Tesla Model Y earned Top Safety Pick+ honors from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Every Tesla model offers several advanced safety features, including:
  • Advanced airbags
  • Crumple zones
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Forward collision warning
  • Blind-spot collision warning
  • Lane departure avoidance
  • Fire protection/thermal safety
