Still A Skeptic? Tesla's Roof Is So Strong It Actually Broke The NHTSA's Test Machine

As crash-test boasts go, Tesla is claiming a good one: The roof of its Model S electric sedan is apparently so strong that it broke a testing machine during independent validation of its government crash-test scores.

Roof-crush strength was just one of the reasons that Tesla says its electric car just came up with a five-star rating in National Highway Traffic Safety Administration testing.

I was worried what would happen if I were in a Tesla Model S driving through Jurassic Park and a dinosaur stepped on me. I am no longer worried.

Tesla just keeps knocking it out the park. Haven't heard from the haters in quite awhile.
