It is safer *because* it is an EV - there is no engine 'lump" in the front, so the entire structure can be used to absorb energy, and do so over a longer time period.
As you mentioned the low Cg is also possible *because* the Tesla Model S is an EV. It handles better *because* it is an EV. And it performs better because it is an EV. It is about 2X more efficient than a Prius. It is incredibly quiet and smooth.
The Tesla Model S is quite possibly the best car ever built.
