The A-pillar is not deformed! The air bag didn't run around! Is the domestic Tesla Model 3 better in quality?

China Insurance Automobile Safety Index has completed all testing and evaluation work for Tesla Model 3 models, and officially released the evaluation results of the model on June 10. Eddie Automobile will use 4 car safety indexes based on Dimensional evaluation procedures, using data to interpret the evaluation results of Tesla Model 3 models. Let us take a look at the gap between the domestic version of Model 3 and the American version?

In terms of passive safety, Tesla Model 3 is equipped with front airbags for the driver, front passenger, front side airbags, and front and rear side curtain airbags. In addition, this model comes standard with FCW and AEB functions.

Tesla Model 3 received M (average) in terms of crashworthiness and maintenance economy, G (excellent) for passenger safety and vehicle auxiliary safety in the car, and A (excellent) for pedestrian safety outside the car. good).

Excellent crashworthiness performance

Repair economy is actually poor

Tesla Model 3 model received evaluation in terms of crashworthiness and maintenance economy The result was M (fair), with a frontal collision score of 11.5 points (out of 30 points) and a rear-end collision score of 23 points (out of 30 points).

In terms of crashworthiness, the Tesla Model 3 scored 92% in frontal collisions and 100% in rear-end collisions. The body structure performed well and the body damage after the collision was relatively minor. According to the C-IASI low-speed collision evaluation regulations, the maximum deformation of the Tesla Model 3’s measurement points did not exceed 3mm.

In the low-speed crash test, the Tesla Model 3 airbag did not deploy. Due to the common problems of luxury cars, there are many electronic components in the front and more expensive headlight assemblies. The front-impact repair ratio of Tesla Model 3 is 11.50%, the repair cost is about 33,557 yuan, and the rear-impact repair ratio is 2.04 %, the maintenance cost is about 5952.7 yuan. Crashworthiness and maintenance economy are currently difficulties for most models. It is difficult for Tesla Model 3 to obtain an M (average) rating, which is relatively better than similar models.

The vehicle occupant safety index only lost 1 point

The US version of the A-pillar is deformed

Tesla Model 3 gained 1 point in the vehicle occupant safety index The evaluation result is G (excellent), and the evaluation results of frontal 25% offset collision, side impact, roof strength, and whiplash injury are all G (excellent).

In the frontal 25% offset collision, the A-pillar of Tesla Model 3 showed almost no deformation, the energy-absorbing area at the front of the car fully functioned, and the passenger compartment maintained good integrity. Airbags, side curtain airbags and restraint systems also function effectively. In addition, the Model 3's high-voltage system did not malfunction after the collision. Compared with the previous Model 3 IIHS crash test, the A-pillar of the US version of Model 3 was slightly deformed.

Due to the slight deformation of the lower part of the firewall and the fact that it is not equipped with knee airbags, the Model 3 dummy’s leg and foot damage rating was A. However, overall, Model 3 performs very well in 25% offset collision.

In terms of side collisions, the Tesla Model 3 performed relatively well, and the airbags and side curtain airbags provided effective protection for the dummy.

After a side collision, the distance between the B-pillar of the Tesla Model 3 and the driver's center line was 22.5cm, which is far higher than the excellent standard line of 12.5cm. It is consistent with the IIHS test results and better than the same. The price range of BMW 3 Series (17.5cm) and Mercedes-Benz C-Class (20.0cm).

In terms of roof strength, Tesla Model 3's performance is still stable, with a peak load of 93,797 N, which is 5.97 times its own mass, slightly better than the IIHS's 5.85 times.

In terms of seat headrests, the gap between the Tesla Model 3 headrests and the head is small, and the distance from the top of the head is small, so the degree of whiplash injuries is minor.

Safety for pedestrians outside the car and rollover

The performance of the US version is not very good

In terms of safety for pedestrians in parking spaces, Model 3 unexpectedly rolled over and received an A (Good) rating.

Judging from the score, Model 3 mainly lost points in the head shape test. This may be due to the forward concave and convex design of the front section of Model 3, which caused the head shape prosthesis to collide with the internal skeleton. Greater damage. In the IIHS evaluation, Model 3 also did not receive an excellent rating.

Reflection of strengths and advantages

Stable performance of vehicle assistance safety

The Tesla Model 3 model received a G (excellent) rating in terms of vehicle assistance safety. The sensor type is millimeter wave radar + trinocular camera, which meets the test requirements under all test conditions and provides timely alarm. Its AEB function is excellent and can quickly apply emergency braking to reduce the risk of collision.

In general, the domestically produced Tesla Model 3 performs very well in terms of 25% offset collision, side collision, roof strength and auxiliary safety. Compared with the US version, safety has not been reduced, which is worthy of recognition.

However, due to body design factors, Model 3 has certain deficiencies in pedestrian protection. If the front design of the Model S is adopted, the pedestrian protection of the Model 3 should be improved to some extent. Therefore, we hope that driven by the evaluation, Model 3 can improve pedestrian protection in the future and further enhance safety.
