Great rant Donald. You know that Tesla had a recall following the fires and made structural changes to the Model S, right? The Model S was also the last vehicle in its price range to have forward collision prevention (FCP) and lane departure mitigation. If you have some specific vehicles the price, size, shape and weight of the Model S made by other manufacturers that are poorly rated for safety name them. Right now, Subaru has the highest safety ratings and also the most advanced FCP system in the U.S. market. Toyota follows and offers the most affordable TSP+ rated vehicle fleet. Anyone who follows vehicle safety knows that NHTSA is not the ranking system with the hardest testing, IIHS is. The first three model years of the Model S were not eligible for the top IIHS safety rating since they did not offer FCP. Vehicle safety is now being driven by IIHS and the automakers. The government can barely keep pace with the advances.
