Electric-car maker Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) said Tuesday morning that its late-2015 launched Model X SUV earned a 5-star crash rating in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) tests. The SUV was the first SUV to be awarded a 5-star rating in every category and every sub-category, Tesla said.
The Model X’s high safety rating puts the spotlight on both Tesla’s relentless commitment to safety and the inherent superiority in the fundamental design of all-electric vehicles.
