Tesla Model 3 Performance

The redesigned Tesla Model 3 scores an impressive 5-star safety rating in Euro NCAP tests.

One can criticize Tesla for its fluctuating prices and its communication strategy that defies common sense. Similarly, one can critique the Tesla Model 3 for its reliability and the proven weakness of some mechanical parts. However, it is impossible to criticize the brand and its electric sedan when it comes to automotive safety. According to the latest results published by the European organization Euro NCAP, the 2025 version of the Tesla Model 3 has received the maximum score of 5 stars, confirming its status as one of the safest vehicles on the market.

According to data from the official Euro NCAP website, the Model 3 achieved impressive scores: 90% for adult protection, 93% for children, 89% for vulnerable road users (such as pedestrians or cyclists), and 87% for driving assistance systems. This assessment applies to all versions of the Model 3: rear-wheel drive, long-range rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive long-range, and Performance version.

Enhanced Safety

Euro NCAP highlighted several innovative features of the vehicle, notably the active hood, which automatically raises in the event of a collision to reduce injuries to pedestrians. The automatic emergency braking system has also been improved: it can now detect motorcycles thanks to a new algorithm. Another point noted is a system that prevents a door from being opened if a vehicle or cyclist approaches in the blind spot.

In a post on its official X account Tesla Europe & Middle East, the company announced the introduction of new technologies aimed at further enhancing the safety of the Model 3. Among them: frontal collision avoidance, emergency braking at intersections, and a system for detecting a child left alone in the vehicle.

According to Tesla, this last device uses an innovative radar inside the cabin that can differentiate between an adult and a child. In case of detection of an unattended child, the vehicle automatically activates the air conditioning and sends an alert to the caregivers via a mobile app, while triggering sound and light signals.
