Gotta love the casual dismissal of his explanations, but you're a Musk fanboy, so it's understandable.

What he said makes sense. The tests get harder in order to ensure cars become safer. My car got the best safety rating when it came out, but that was 11 years ago. If Tesla hasn't changed its design for the 2020/21 models to improve safety, then my guess is it doesn't make sense for them to waste their resources testing it.

It's one year of change to the test, and I don't know enough about it other than the people doing the rating ask you not to compare them across years. So I'll wait to compare apples-to-apples. I'm sure there is some difference and the test becomes harder.
