The latest safety rating award comes after the first few new yoke-steering equipped 2022 Tesla Model S vehicles have been spotted in Europe.
In Australia, Tesla is yet to deliver any new Model S vehicles but hundreds of order holders can be assured that when it does arrive, it’ll be one of the safest cars on the road.
We expect the updated Tesla Model S and Model X in the right-hand drive configuration to arrive in Australia by late 2023.
