It's mainly part of a campaign against EV, so here, even wording is carefully chosen to bring this sentiment.

Not really surprised by some recent news on those subject.

Tesla has repeatedly boasted that the Model S is the "safest car ever made". It has been a focal point of their marketing for some time. So when there's evidence to the contrary it makes for great headlines- I wouldn't call it a campaign against EVs in general.

Is there another car that aces all the tests?

Edit found a bit more info here http://www.iihs.org/iihs/news/desktopnews/in-the-best-light-...

In the Euro NCAP ratings the Model S seems to do well (5 stars) but there are a fair number of cars that do even better.
