While many vehicles get a five-star overall NHTSA score, it's not common for a car to ace every category with top marks across the board. NHTSA also called out the Model 3's safety technology as being top-shelf. The only safety equipment mentioned by NHTSA that the Model 3 doesn't offer is dynamic head restraints. Everything else is present as standard equipment.

It's also worth mentioning that while the IIHS hasn't published its crash test results, it has partially evaluated the Model 3 and it received a rating of Superior for its forward collision avoidance systems and an "A" rating for its headlights. Neither of which are especially easy to get.
