What is the ground clearance of Tesla Model 3?
1 Answers
Tesla Model 3 has a ground clearance of 138mm. Ground clearance refers to the minimum distance between the vehicle's undercarriage and the level ground under maximum load conditions. The minimum ground clearance directly affects a vehicle's off-road capability. Generally, sedans have the lowest ground clearance while SUVs have relatively higher ground clearance. Below is an introduction to vehicle ground clearance: 1. Initially, there were regulations specifying minimum ground clearance standards that vehicles couldn't fall below. However, with continuous advancements in automotive production technology, these regulations have been gradually phased out because some premium brands use air suspension systems that can adjust the vehicle's height according to road conditions while driving. 2. If a vehicle's minimum ground clearance exceeds 130mm, it can more easily navigate complex road surfaces during driving. 3. Higher ground clearance provides better off-road capability but reduces vehicle stability, while lower ground clearance offers better stability at the expense of off-road performance.
