"Moderate Overlap Front Crash Test" makes it sound very... niche. It sounds like acing the "Multi-vendor Cup Holder Compatibility Test", where McDonald's, Wendy's, and Popeye's cups all fit.
But this is good news - after a crash, a Tesla owner can admire the sturdiness of their intact front-end while they burn to death because they're unable to open the door and escape.
If I remember correctly it's an important test because it was neglected for decades. Car makers had no idea how dangerous that type of accident was.
Like EVs had safety improvements because China spent so much effort on protecting the battery from side impacts that it carried over to occupant safety.
