  mountaintops or sea floors. Hello, and welcome back to the
• 3:20
  musk news pod. It's a podcast about everything,
• 3:22
  Elon Musk. This episode is going to be
• 3:25
  about Tesla more specifically the model 3 and the model 3 is
• 3:32
  now known as the top safety pick of the iihs.
• 3:39
  So it's been added to this very pristine list of a few other
• 3:44
  vehicles that have got to that point the The model 3 has been
• 3:48
  run through a battery of Crash Test from the iihs.
• 3:53
  And there are some really great results to report on this.
• 3:58
  So, the insurance industry funded group, the IHS.
• 4:04
  It gave them a top safety pick+, honor, roll, and it's just a few
• 4:10
  sedans that are in this. So, the model 3, It's top of the
• 4:16
  top man. This is one of the best safest
• 4:20
  and best vehicles out there on the road right now.
• 4:22
  It's the second fully electronic vehicle that has been named a
• 4:27
  top safety pick+ after the Audi e-tron secured it with another
• 4:33
  mention last month and there's also another vehicle across over
• 4:38
  the high-end a, an x 0 which also received the award, but the
• 4:42
  model 3 is the latest and it does the best.
• 4:45
  So, the vehicle must earn top good ratings in the agency's
• 4:50
  driver and passenger side. Small overlap, front, moderate
• 4:54
  overlap, front side, roof, strength, and head, restraint
• 4:57
  tests. It must also offer an available
• 5:01
  crash prevention system that will perform to what the iihs
• 5:06
  does deems Advanced or Superior in its headlights.
• 5:10
  Must be good. Now, we all have headlights in
• 5:12
  our car, some of our headlights, like my headlights.
• 5:15
  They're not super great but, you know, they work and we all have
• 5:19
  to have working headlights in order to pass inspection.
• 5:22
  So the model 3 has to be in the good category.
• 5:28
  So the model 3 earned, a superior rating for crash,
• 5:32
  prevention, and completely avoided collisions in the IHS,
• 5:37
  12 mile an hour and 25 mile an hour tests, its headlights, also
• 5:42
  earned the top spot. So they have really great
• 5:46
  headlights on the model 3. That's really awesome.
• 5:48
  I can barely see at night sometimes with my headlights so
• 5:51
  I can assume that the model 3 would be way better than what I
• 5:55
  have right now. All right, I'm going to take a
• 5:57
  quick break, a little pause for the cause pay some bills when I
• 6:00
  get back. We're going to be talking more
• 6:01
  about the safety of the model 3 now and the IHS knows that the
• 6:06
  model 3 structure held up really well.
• 6:09
  And what many automakers seem, as the most challenging test of
• 6:15
  this caliber, it's the driver side.
• 6:18
  Small overlap front test. So the side door, the driver
• 6:23
  side, door buckled in. There was an intrusion of about
• 6:26
  8 inches. If the lower portion of the
• 6:28
  door, hinge on this test and this could possibly Create a
• 6:34
  moderate risk of injury to the drivers lower leg.
• 6:38
  So if you get smashed on your driver side and the only thing
• 6:42
  you really going to worry about is a moderate risk for your
• 6:46
  lower leg. This is one safe vehicle.
• 6:50
  There was no other, it jury risk reported for the model 3.
• 6:55
  So of all the things of all the vehicles out there, the model 3
• 6:58
  is top of the top for the nhtsa tests and also the IHS test, the
• 7:07
  model 3 for the nhtsa test with the NCAP ratings, it gave it a
• 7:17
  20-19 model three top five star ratings across the board, super
• 7:21
  safe. So if you're looking for a safe
• 7:23
  Evie, The model 3. If you're looking for a safe
• 7:27
  vehicle, get the model 3 IHS, Chief research, officer David
• 7:33
  zubi, says vehicles with alternative powertrains have
• 7:36
  come into their own. There's no need to trade Away
• 7:39
  safety for a lower carbon footprint, while choosing a
• 7:42
  vehicle, that's true. This model 3 has great range.
• 7:48
  It is very comfortable. By its very quiet.
• 7:51
  You don't need gas, so you can save on that and also you're
• 7:55
  extremely safe in the vehicle. So if you want an EV get a model
• 8:02
  3, that's the best way to go. So I want to say thank you so
