Static load is a nice number, but that's not what car safety test should be about - car crash is a rather violent dynamic event. I guess most common situation is rolling of the car, with possible stop at some wall with roof absorbing most of the impact.
I am not sure tests of such an event would be still so favorable.
Or to put it differently - that's an impressive achievement of a situation that will never happen to a Tesla driver. What about performance in crash situation that might actually happen?
I guess what I was attempting (and admittedly failing!) to say was that Tesla vehicles hold up very well in very bad wrecks. The cars have tons of driver assist / active safety features, but they also have a huge crumple zone due to not having an engine, and an exceptionally low center of gravity due to the battery. There are many cases where people walk away from bad wrecks in a tesla where they'd have been intensive care or worse in most vehicles.
