The Tesla Model Y has received mostly positive reviews. As deliveries began rolling out at the start of March, drivers have not been shying in sharing their experiences with the vehicle. In light of the Model Y manual going live on Tesla’s website, there’s been a lot of talk about some of the vehicle’s specifics. One such discussion point, the inclusion of an Off Road Mode, comprises the focus of a new video.
A new video from i1Tesla on YouTube puts the Model Y Off Road Mode to the test. As covered in the vehicle’s manual, Off Road Mode offers a few key features. First and foremost, this mode allows the vehicle’s wheels to spin freely. Off Road Mode also balances the torque in the vehicle. These adjustments are crucial for drivers looking to navigate otherwise troublesome terrain.
As the video discusses, there are some improvements that would need to made in order to achieve a more optimal off road experience with the Model Y. Raising the suspension, for example, would certainly help. The wheels also extend past the tires in Tesla’s new electric vehicle. This can cause some problems with natural obstacles such as rocks or uneven terrain. With all that said, Tesla has demonstrated its ability to produce an electric vehicle that can meet the needs of all kinds of drivers.
