ANALYSISHow safe is the 2019 Tesla Model X 75d?

The 2019 Tesla Model X 75D achieves an exceptional 94/100 on MotorCaliber's Safety Index, largely due to a perfect sweep of crash-test ratings and a complete absence of recalls. This model year registered a 9 percent rollover risk, with dynamic testing confirming a "No Tip" outcome. Crash protection alone contributes 70 out of 70 points to the overall score. Standard safety technologies, including forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control, secured the full 10 out of 10 points for avoidance systems. The sole area preventing a theoretical perfect score is the defect record sub-score, which stands at 14 out of 20. This is attributed to 73 unverified owner complaints on file with NHTSA, rather than any formal recall action. No prior-year Safety Index exists for comparison, but the 2019 Model X 75D's performance positions it as a leader in its class based on this data.
