Cars are subjected to various crash tests and the results of these tests are shared so that car buyers can make a healthier decision. One of these tests is the well-known insurance company. Swiss branch of AXAdid it on a Tesla Model S.

One in the video Tesla Model SAt roundabouts, it hits a junction called an island and takes off. Then the vehicle that rolls over and then catches fire in a funny way. AXA Switzerland, which issued a statement on the video discussed on social media, said the vehicle did not actually catch fire.

The aim is to draw attention to possible dangers.

AXA is actually quite successful crash tests just do Tesla Model S test It stands out as a rather irrelevant and erroneous test. Of course, a Tesla Model S can also crash into an island or roll over. The problem with the video is that it was deliberately exaggerated.

First of all, there is a car in the vehicle in this video. No battery. One of the heaviest parts of the Tesla Model S is the battery. Although electric vehicles can also tip over, the tipping of these vehicles is more common than vehicles with conventional combustion engines. more difficult. Because the batteries in the middle and bottom of these vehicles pull the center of gravity much lower, making flips difficult.

Another problem is that the vehicle suddenly catches fire. According to AXA Switzerland’s apology statement, these flames are then checkedIt was also stated that the vehicle would not have enough spark to catch fire in the accident in the video.

In fact, AXA Switzerland shows in its own research that electric cars are just as much as vehicles with combustion engines. trustworthy However, such a study was signed to draw attention to potential dangers. On the other hand, such a non-standard and forced test video seems to backfire.

Of course, electric vehicles also carry risks. It will appear if there is a battery leak extinguish the fire maybe not possible either. Yet no vehicle type offers more risky driving than another.
