Modding Up a Tesla"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

The more Teslas become mainstream, the more we see Tesla mods showing up everywhere. As with most things people want to push the boundaries (literally) and figure out what can an cannot be done with Teslas. So, can you drive on dirt- and muddy roads with a Tesla?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Teslas can go off-road, but of course it depends to which extremes you want to take it. The more extreme conditions will work best for the Tesla Model Y<\/a> that is equipped with \u201coff-road assist mode\u201d. In this mode the Model Y will control the power between the motors to optimize traction and spin. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took a turn off the beaten path and found some interesting information regarding this topic. Check it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Teslas Work Off-Road (if at All)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For clarity’s sake, let’s take the Model X<\/a> as an example of what Teslas can do off-road. It can handle most terrain with its all-wheel drive and high ground clearance.

Plus, it has a decent air suspension system, meaning it’s less likely to bounce on uneven roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, you may need some mods to make your Tesla off-road ready. For example, you might want to get off-road tires and skid plates. These will provide additional protection against rocks and other obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, Teslas can theoretically go off-road, but you’ll still need to take precautions.

For starters, don’t expect your car to compete with dedicated off-road vehicles like Jeeps and Land Rovers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll most likely end up scratching the underbody of your Tesla if you subject it to anything too extreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fitting Your Tesla With Off-Road Tires<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways to make your Tesla more off-road-ready is to invest in off-road tires. These provide increased traction and grip on loose and uneven surfaces. They also tend to be wider than regular road tires, which can help you navigate obstacles more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for off-road tires for your Tesla:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
