What is the ground clearance of the Model Y?

The minimum ground clearance of the Model Y is 150 millimeters. The minimum ground clearance of the Model Y refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. If the Model Y's ground clearance is higher, its off-road capability improves, but if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The Model Y is a pure electric mid-size SUV with excellent safety performance and spacious cargo space. The dimensions of the Model Y are 4750 millimeters in length, 1921 millimeters in width, and 1624 millimeters in height, with a wheelbase of 2890 millimeters. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110 millimeters and 150 millimeters, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200 millimeters and 250 millimeters. However, the Model Y's ground clearance is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the Model Y's load variations. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban areas with well-paved roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. For long-distance travel or driving in areas with poor road conditions, a vehicle with higher ground clearance is preferable to avoid scraping or damaging the undercarriage.

I remember the standard ground clearance of the Tesla Model Y is approximately 170 millimeters, which is 17 centimeters. As a pure electric SUV, its height design is very practical, making city driving much more comfortable. When I drive, I rarely scrape the undercarriage on speed bumps or uneven roads. For occasional suburban trips, it can handle some dirt roads, but don't expect it to perform like a rugged off-road vehicle. The low center of gravity of electric vehicles enhances stability, especially when cornering. However, if the road conditions are particularly poor, such as rocky areas, I recommend driving slowly. Regularly checking tire pressure is also crucial, as maintaining proper pressure helps maximize the effective clearance.
