Here's a peek into Tesla's in-house crash lab. There's a reason the Model 3 has the lowest probability of injury of any vehicle ever tested by the NHTSA. Per
@elonmusk
, "safety is [their] primary design goal".

FSD Beta SAVED MY BUTT this morning. Truck probably couldn't stop in time- it was going downhill. I usually go pretty quickly through this light.
@elonmusk
There's just something about Tesla's one-pedal driving combined with instant torque that makes you feel so connected to your vehicle- I can't explain it.
Did you know? The Tesla Model 3 has a collapsible steering column.
In a crash, the steering column retracts away from the driver, to increase the distance your body has to decelerate. This helps reduce injuries in a crash.

In honor of my incredible grandfather, who passed in the early hours of the morning, I've renamed Quicksilver to Wildcat. He was a huge University of Kentucky basketball fan. I'm so glad you had your family by your side today and weren't in any pain. Rest in peace, Pepaw 🐾 ❤
This NHTSA thing has me so frustrated- and I'm sure many of you feel the same. It's infuriating watching the media spin everything against Tesla. And now, honestly, it's scary to consider the idea of the government holding back progress- especially with a product (1/?)
THREAD: looks like there's a BUNCH of Hertz Tesla ads!!

... I went to visit my grandfather for Thanksgiving and found out that his cancer will not be getting better.. I fear he may not have long left with us and I would love to show him the Beta while he is still here with us if that's at all possible. 1/

•MASSIVE improvement in speed control. Car is much better at keeping the speed you set, whereas it used to not quite get up to the set speed before
•Big improvement in lane centering on unlined residential roads
•More confident going around cars
