Tuner Turns Tesla Model Y Into Hardcore Off-Roader

Teslas are known for theirphenomenal performanceand impressive range, but while we continue to wait for the mythical Cybertruck to arrive, there's still no real off-road option from the EV giant - until now. We have seen aftermarket tuners and tinkerers modifying standard Tesla carsto go off-road, and the resultshave been mixed, but this off-road-readyTesla Model Yfrom Delta4x4 in Germany might just do the trick. Delta4x4 is more accustomed to building traditional 4x4 machines, but the company is clearly on to something with this build, which should attract many who would like a little more capability out of their Model Y EVs.

The Tesla Model Y Performance recently received a Track Mode, which gives the driver more control over driving modes, but these features are more focused on acceleration and on-the-road performance. With around 450 horsepower, this electric SUV does not lack the power to go up hills or through muddy trails, but it simply doesn't have the ground clearance or traction to do so.

To turn the Model Y into an off-road machine, Delta4x4 gives the car a suspension lift of nearly 1.4 inches and fits 265/45R20 Continental Cross Contact ATR tires, bringing the total ground clearance to nearly 8.7 inches. Finally, this rugged Model Y also comes with an increased track width which enables a wheel mount.
