Tesla Releases New Video of "Blown Up" Model Y with Superb Offroading Capability

Hours ago, Tesla has released a new video showcasing the off-road capabilities of its Model Y crossover, just a day after it released a new video about the outgoing Model 3. The video, which was posted to YouTube on Tuesday, has already racked up close to half a million views and many comments within hours on Youtube and Twitter.

Responding to Tesla's new video about the Model Y, a user, named Nicko Swimmer, commented on Tesla's Youtube channel and wrote "As a mechanical engineer, this is why I stick with Tesla. Top-notch engineering based on fundamental principles!"

In the video, Tesla VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravi discusses how the Model Y was designed to be more than just a traditional crossover. He says that Tesla wanted to create a vehicle that offered the same level of storage and utility as a crossover but with the added capability to go off-road.

To achieve this, Tesla engineers developed a new rear casting process that allows them to create a single, large piece of aluminum for the Model Y's rear body. This casting is much stronger and more durable than traditional methods, and it also allows Tesla to reduce the number of parts used in the rear of the vehicle.

Look at the video, at least the last minute needs to be advertised. The storytelling and cinematography is just amazing. I think the Model Y is hands down the best value car purchase in its price range (and a substantial amount above), nothing even comes close.

Moravi also discusses the Model Y's Off-Road Mode, which uses the vehicle's dual motors and torque vectoring system to help it navigate difficult terrain. The mode can be activated by pressing a button on the Model Y's touchscreen, and it automatically adjusts the vehicle's settings to optimize performance off-road.

That’s the best way to think about the product. It's always best to focus on how your product can add the most value to your customers.

The video shows the Model Y tackling a variety of off-road obstacles, including dirt roads, rocks, and even a river crossing. In each case, the Model Y performs admirably, and it never seems to be out of its element.

The video has been met with positive reactions from Tesla fans and off-road enthusiasts alike. Many people have praised the Model Y's performance off-road, and they are impressed by Tesla's engineering prowess.

The video is a clear indication that Tesla is serious about making its vehicles more capable off-road. The Model Y is not the first Tesla to offer some off-road capability, but it is the first to do so in a truly meaningful way.

With its strong performance off-road and spacious interior, the Model Y is a compelling option for buyers who are looking for a crossover that can do it all.
