What is the ground clearance of the Model 3?
2 Answers
Tesla Model 3 has a ground clearance of 138mm. The Tesla Model 3 is a mid-size car launched by Tesla Motors. Extended relevant information is as follows: 1. The ground clearance of a car refers to the minimum ground clearance, which is the minimum distance between the vehicle's underside and the horizontal ground when the car is at maximum load. The minimum ground clearance directly affects the car's passing performance. 2. The higher the car's ground clearance, the better the passing performance, but the stability of the car will be worse. Conversely, the lower the car's ground clearance, the worse the passing performance, but the stability will be better.
The ground clearance of the Tesla Model 3 is approximately 138mm, about the thickness of a vertically placed palm. I've been driving this car for almost two years, and it's perfectly adequate for daily city use—handling speed bumps or descending garage ramps without any issues. However, during a road trip on a rural gravel road once, I heard a slight scrape on the undercarriage, which startled me into slowing down immediately. For friends who frequently drive on rough roads, it might be worth considering spending a bit more for the Model Y, which has about 30mm more ground clearance and a more robust battery protection plate. By the way, modifying the suspension can also adjust the height, but it may affect the factory tuning and warranty, so caution is advised.
