Tesla Model 3 small overlap crash test - IIHS video

The hit is made on 40 mph (64.4 km/h) into a rigid narrow barrier, located at the vehicle's front headlamp area. Thus the car's body should by very tough and well-designed to minimize the damage to the cabin and leave the possibility for passengers to leave the car. Moreover, the front wheel is oftenly being dismounted after the hit and its path should also be safe enough to leave enough space for driver's feet.
