The New Tesla 2023 Model Y
New Tesla 2023 Model Y.
The Model Y, made at Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory, scored an impressive 97% in Adult Protection and a near perfect 98% in Safety Assist, with full marks for lane assist and monitoring systems New cab camera-based driving. In Euro NCAP track tests, the Model Y's camera-only Vision system performed very well at preventing collisions with other cars, cyclists and pedestrians.
Euro NCAP Secretary General, Michiel van Ratingen, said, “We have seen good results from some Chinese manufacturers in the past, but also some very poor ones. This year, Euro NCAP will test more Chinese cars than ever before, and Great Wall really sets the bar for others to follow. Also, congratulations to Tesla for the truly excellent, record-breaking Model Y rating. Tesla has proven that nothing but the best is good enough for them, and we hope to see them continue to aspire to that goal in the future. "
The Model Y's passenger compartment remained stable in the head-to-head deflection test. The fake number shows good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and the passenger. Tesla has shown that a similar level of protection will be offered to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. Very good front passenger protection for all important body areas.
Analysis of the impact trolley's deceleration during testing and post-test deformable barrier analysis suggest that the Model Y would be a benign impact partner in a head-on collision. In the full-width rigid barrier test, all critical body areas were well protected for the driver and at least adequately protected for the rear passengers. In lateral barrier testing, protection of all key body areas was good and the car scored maximum in this section of the assessment. In more severe lateral impact, protection of all vital body areas is good or adequate. Cruise control (the extent to which a body is thrown to the other side of the vehicle when it is hit from a distance) is deemed appropriate. The Model Y has a countermeasure to minimize injury to occupants in such impacts and this worked well in Euro NCAP testing. Tests on the front seats and headrests show good protection from collision injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric analysis of the rear seats also indicates good impact protection. The Model Y features an advanced eCall system that alerts emergency services in the event of an incident. The vehicle also has a post-collision braking system to avoid secondary collisions.
The Model Y provided good protection for both baby pacifiers in both the front deflection and side fence tests, scoring maximum for this part of the review. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow the use of rear-facing child safety seats.
Clear information is provided to the driver about the status of the airbag and the system has been rewarded.
All types of seat belts for which the Model Y is designed can be properly installed and positioned in a vehicle.
The bonnet provides good or adequate protection for a pedestrian's head from a collision over nearly the entire bonnet area, with the element or
poor results at the base of the windshield and on the stiffened windshield post.
The protection provided by the shield provides good pedestrian footing in all test positions, as well as good protection of the pelvis.
The Tesla Model Y has an automatic emergency braking system that can detect vulnerable road users as well as other vehicles. In tests of the system's response to pedestrians, the system performed well. In tests of the system's response to cyclists, the Model Y scored top marks.
The automatic emergency braking system performed well in its response tests with other vehicles. Model Y has seat belt reminders for all front and rear seats.
Its 'Collision Driver Monitoring' system uses live camera-based monitoring to detect distracted drivers and automatically changes the sensitivity of the Forward Collision Warning System to react respond faster. The lane assist system will gently adjust the vehicle's path if the vehicle deviates from its lane and intervene more aggressively in some more critical situations to avoid the vehicle drifting out of its lane. The vehicle uses digital maps and camera input to determine local speed limits, and the driver can choose to let the system limit the maximum speed accordingly.
