Can a Tesla really handle off-road terrain? Most people think electric cars belong only on pavement. We decided to test that idea the hard way — by taking a Tesla Model Y into real off-road conditions. Mud, rocks, steep climbs, and uneven trails — we pushed the car beyond what most owners would ever attempt. 🎥 Watch the real off-road test: (YouTube Link) Why Is “Tesla Off-Road” Such a Hot Topic? At first glance, a Tesla doesn’t look like an off-road vehicle. But the Model Y has some surprising advantages: Instant torque for climbing and traction Low center of gravity thanks to the battery pack Dual motor AWD for power distribution The challenges: Limited ground clearance Road-focused factory tires No underbody protection So stock, it’s risky. With the right setup, it becomes something very different. What Happened in the Real Off-Road Test? We tested the Tesla Model Y on: Muddy trails Rocky terrain Steep uneven surfaces The result? It moved forward — but barely. Traction control worked overtime, ground clearance was the main limit, and the stock tires struggled. This proved one thing: the platform is capable, but the setup is not. How to Prepare a Tesla Model Y for Off-Road If you actually want to take your Tesla off the pavement, these are the upgrades that change everything: 1) Lift Kit Adds crucial ground clearance. Even a 40 mm lift dramatically improves approach and breakover angles. 2) Skid Plates Protect the battery and underbody from rocks and debris. 3) All-Terrain Tires Factory tires are for asphalt. AT tires provide grip on mud, gravel, and snow. 4) Heavy-Duty Suspension Upgraded shocks improve control, stability, and durability on rough terrain. 👉 All of these are available in Becce Tesla Overland Packages, designed specifically for the Model Y. Final Verdict: Can a Tesla Go Off-Road? Yes — with the right modifications. Stock Tesla: “It can try.” Prepared Tesla: “It can explore.” This test shows that electric vehicles are not limited to city streets anymore. Where Should We Test Next?
