Key Points:

“The original moderate overlap test was our first evaluation and the lynchpin of the Institute’s crash testing program,” said IIHS President David Harkey.
However, the additional measurements provided by the new test show that most of them don’t provide adequate protection for the rear passenger’s head and neck — the most vulnerable areas of the body.
Features like rear seat airbags and seat belts that themselves inflate to mitigate the effects of crash forces could help too.
The test speed, offset and barrier used in the new test remain the same as in the original one.

New EV entries nibbling away at Tesla EV share, according to S&P Global Mobility

Tuesday, November 29, 2022

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Nov. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Although U.S. electric vehicle registrations remain dominated by Tesla, the brand is showing the expected signs of shedding market share as more entrants arrive. Much of Tesla's share loss is to EVs available in a more accessible MSRP range – below $50,000, where Tesla does not yet truly compete.

Key Points:

"The EV market in 2022 is a Tesla market, and it will continue to be, so long as its competitors are bound by production capacity."
Tesla has opened two new assembly plants in 2022 and is looking for the site of its next North American plant.
However, Mach-E registrations of about 27,800 units are about 8% of the volume Tesla has captured, according to S&P Global Mobility data.
