They're nowhere near the "safest cars in the world," dude. they are part of the design of safest cars in the world, though. atm #1 is the chevy volt. in general no engine in front is a superior design for front-end collision safety. once they fix the battery issue they'll be back on top most likely. Logical problem with this - if I get into a front-end collision, I'll likely survive, especially with a seatbelt. If the battery in my electric vehicle explodes (and keep in mind, it's in the tunnel between the seats, so I'm literally right next to it), I'm dead. Period. Consumer Reports puts the battery issue as just as common an occurrence as a front-impact collision, when adjusted for vehicle density. That means that your two examples are about equal for the type of car. And, you do know that vehicle safety overall has little to do with engine placement, right? The Bricklin SV-1 is CONSIDERABLY safer due to overall design than any Tesla model ever will be. --- 'It's okay that those gangbangers stole all my personal belongings and cash at gunpoint, cuz they're building a rec center!' - OneTimeBen <cite>darkjedilink posted [p:889673679] in Tesla repo...
