Volvo s60 vs Tesla model 3, crash test
Watched a youtube clip on the Volvo s60 and Tesla model 3 being crahed tested (side impact / pole), The Tesla looks in better shape- but would you be in better shape on the inside? The owner of Tesla takes a jab at Volvo"s safety. I can not put a link up as unsure how to do it.

I don't know if they are taking a jab at Volvo. More that Volvo are the industry leaders in safety and if Tesla can match them at least then that gives Tesla huge credibility.

In my eyes currently from a safety point of view for your loved ones if you can afford it you either but a Volvo or a Tesla! Checkout the videos of tesla's reacting to real world collisions, amazing tech in the car, for the first time in automotive industry I believe Volvo is playing catch up to another brand, er at least in crash avoidance situations. |

Though my Volvo once warned me about a stationery car hidden behind a hedge on a blind bend - was quite impressed with that. |

You can't judge it by looks. Modern cars are designed to disintegrate to a point to absorb the energy of the impact.

This is an interesting one
In the slo-mo you can see the passenger cell flex a lot more in the Tesla than the Volvo. I personally think it's fantastic that safety technology is progressing so quickly and I think Volvos commitment to not have a serious injury in one of its cars by 2020 or whenever it was (I can't remember the date) is amazing. I think the brand has found a real lease of life under its new owners and I can't wait to be back in one.
