The solutions to prevent the Tesla Model 3 from scraping its undercarriage are: 1. Drive carefully on a daily basis, slow down when passing over uneven roads or speed bumps to avoid minor impacts and damage; 2. Install an underbody protection plate. Taking the 2021 Tesla Model 3 as an example, it is a compact pure electric vehicle with the following dimensions: length 4694mm, width 1850mm, height 1443mm, wheelbase 2875mm, and a trunk capacity of 425 liters. The 2021 Tesla Model 3 features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor, delivering a maximum power of 202kW and a maximum torque of 404Nm, paired with a fixed gear ratio transmission.
Driving my Tesla Model 3 to commute, especially on small urban roads or when entering/exiting parking lots, I often feel the chassis might scrape against things, which is quite annoying. Mainly because the battery pack is located underneath, resulting in limited ground clearance. This makes it prone to issues when encountering speed bumps, small slopes, or uneven road surfaces. My solution is to adjust my driving habits: slow down when passing these areas, brake early to reduce impact. Additionally, when planning routes, I avoid roads with many potholes and try to choose main roads or smoother surfaces. Regularly checking the underside for scratches or wear is crucial, as damage could harm the battery, leading to more serious repair costs. These small practices add up and help save a lot of hassle. Of course, if the situation is severe, I’d take it directly to a service center for inspection to prevent safety risks from escalating. In short, patience and attentiveness are key in driving.
