How much of a factor is not having a motor in the hood?

Helps improve forward crumple zone length, especially important in high speed frontal impacts, and moments of inertia in side impacts

That's what I thought. Comparing the Tesla to combustion vehicles in safety is a little apples to oranges.

Key technical point is that the polar moment of inertia (concentration of mass around center) of a Tesla, to the extent of our knowledge, is better than any other production car. This positively affects safety, handling & driving feel. Extremely important metric.
