this model X refuses to roll over

00:00:09,589 --> 00:00:12,750
unlike most SUVs which tend to roll over

with ease the Model X continues to

00:00:15,539 --> 00:00:18,660
return to an upright position here's why

5
00:00:18,660 --> 00:00:24,0
the Model X was the first SUV to receive

6
00:00:21,210 --> 00:00:29,129
a perfect crash-test rating when it

7
00:00:24,0 --> 00:00:29,129
comes to vehicle safety size matters so

8
00:00:26,910 --> 00:00:29,129
it's not uncommon for SUVs to be

9
00:00:29,129 --> 00:00:31,850
generally safer than your standard sedan

10
00:00:31,850 --> 00:00:34,979
however they tend to have one big

11
00:00:34,979 --> 00:00:39,479
shortcoming rollovers SUVs are notorious

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,909
for having a high center of gravity

13
00:00:40,909 --> 00:00:43,439
causing them to roll over when put into

14
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:45,869
tight maneuvering situations or a side

15
00:00:45,869 --> 00:00:48,299
impact rollovers can result in the

16
00:00:48,299 --> 00:00:50,609
partial or full ejection of passengers

17
00:00:50,609 --> 00:00:52,859

of injury or death in 2016

19
00:00:56,729 --> 00:00:59,280
rollovers happen in 1% of serious

20
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,829
crashes and passenger vehicles but

21
00:01:01,829 --> 00:01:04,198
accounted for one third of collision

22
00:01:04,198 --> 00:01:06,510
related deaths over the past three

23
00:01:06,510 --> 00:01:08,340
decades automakers have been able to

24
00:01:08,340 --> 00:01:10,109
reduce the frequency of rollovers and

25
00:01:10,109 --> 00:01:12,629
vehicles with technology and more stable

26
00:01:12,629 --> 00:01:15,810
designs however once a serious impact

27
00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:18,750
occurs it's just basic physics a higher

28
00:01:18,750 --> 00:01:20,640

00:01:55,950 --> 00:01:58,349
technology such as collision avoidance

44
00:01:58,349 --> 00:02:00,420
systems and automatic emergency braking

45
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:03,239
but what sets the Model X apart is its

46
00:02:03,239 --> 00:02:05,849
design like other Tesla's the Model X

47
00:02:05,849 --> 00:02:08,669
has a large rigid battery pack located

48
00:02:08,669 --> 00:02:09,159
on the

49
00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:11,740
of the vehicle this gives the Model X a

50
00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:13,569
much lower center of gravity than your

51
00:02:13,569 --> 00:02:15,849
average SUV in the event of a collision

52
00:02:15,849 --> 00:02:21,9
that would normally cause an SUV to roll

53
00:02:18,129 --> 00:02:25,329
over this would happen instead but

54
00:02:21,9 --> 00:02:25,329
rollovers are just one aspect of the

55
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:25,330
safety test since the Model X is an

56
00:02:25,330 --> 00:02:26,949
electric vehicle there's no need for

57
00:02:26,949 --> 00:02:29,439
mechanical components in the hood of the

58
00:02:29,439 --> 00:02:31,569
car this allows for a much larger

59
00:02:31,569 --> 00:02:33,969
crumple zone to absorb energy from a

00:02:33,969 --> 00:02:34,870
frontal crash

61
00:02:34,870 --> 00:02:37,539
it also has specially made side sills

62
00:02:37,539 --> 00:02:40,900
that absorb energy in addition to its

63
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:42,340
rigid side pillars these features help

64
00:02:42,340 --> 00:02:44,439
reduce the force exerted on passengers

65
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:47,409
and increases their protection but if

66
00:02:47,409 --> 00:02:49,960
you don't have $80,000 laying around for

67
