We are used to seeing most off-road/safari builds come from the United States and occasionally Australia, but this one stems from China. More intriguing still is the fact that it is a Tesla Model Y, which its owner wanted to repurpose into a no-nonsense sand rider.
Bitauto Garage does not reveal every single detail, but we still know that the EV got its entire suspension system redesigned from scratch, including installing new wishbones at both axles. The body was raised a bit and the motors lowered somewhat to ensure a lower center of gravity and minimal rolling.
Boldly flared fenders house custom beadlock wheels shod in 32-inch General MT5 Offroad tires. The entire body is encased in a robust safety cage with a LED light rack on the top, a winch at the front end and a towing attachment in the back.
Judging from the video alone, the Bitauto-tuned Tesla proved an extremely capable off-road ride and passes its desert test with flying colors.
