U.S. safety agency Rates TESLA MODELS

Tesla Inc’s -  Model 3 sedan has been awarded a five-star rating by the U.S. auto safety agency NHTSA in tests that are standard for cars in the United States.

The company’s shares were up 1.7 percent at $304.27 in early trading on Thursday.

The agency started the 5-Star safety ratings program in 1993 and Tesla’s Model X and Model S, which has been the subject of at least one NHTSA investigation, have both received the top rating in the past.

The ratings provide information about crash protection and rollover safety of new vehicles.

Investor's interest had been “unprecedented” so far as he hits the road to tap into demand with his message that there is more growth to come.

“The tendency of the investors are ‘long only’ type investors, people that understand that this is a growth story” he said when asked who he would be meeting.

Tesla is the future of self driven cars, with a 5 star rating, it can be safe anywhere in the world says the US Safety Agency
