The NHTSA test is very easy to do well in - 5 stars (with occasional 4 for rollover) is super common.
What isn't easy to do well in is the IIHS tests - they have a small overlap test (25% coverage only) on driver and passenger sides that were very difficult to do well on.
Here, the model S only gets an "Acceptable" rating on the driver's side, while the passenger side hasn't been tested. Its headlights are also rated as poor:

The Model 3 also hasn't been crash tested but the headlights are only rated acceptable for the time being.
