Structurally, the Mach-E will hold up well in a crash test. I know we haven't seen the NHTSA, IIHS, NCAP or any vehicle safety assessment organizations our governments run actually perform a test, but Ford rarely ever fails. Especially not with a vehicle as important as this. I mean, its Ford...
But how does everyone here think it will rank once tested for the following?

- Small overlap front: driver-side
- Small overlap front: passenger-side
- Moderate overlap front
- Side
- Roof strength
- Head restraints & seats
