They’re not taking on Helldorado or Hell’s Gate, but they are taking on some moderate trails that still would have destroyed a stock Tesla. Adding a skidplate, giving them a small lift , and upgrading the tires seems to get that job done.One of the things it showed me, we’ve covered before, but the other one shows us that wild, wild Tesla off-road mods aren’t just a one-off Uncle Rich kind of thing.
In this most recent video, they take it out to Mojave Road for an even bigger overland challenge. Sand, rocks, deep water crossings, and even a boulder that the Jeep climbed with ease to pose for some shots didn’t stop the “Mad Max” 3 . On the deepest water, some water got inside the car and got the car’s computer angry. But, with some time to dry out with the power off, and with some incline and advice from an expert … the problem wasn’t solved.
A serious lift can destroy CV joints, especially when you are going over serious obstacles and extending the angle even further.

How Employers Can Set Formerly Incarcerated Workers Up for SuccessA growing number of U.S. businesses have committed to employing some of the tens of millions of Americans with criminal justice records. The author has identified three distinct approaches to what’s known as second-chance hiring. The first approach, which he calls the disposable employee model, is typically found in low-wage/low-skill jobs. These companies are focused on keeping costs down. Because they’re not selective, these hires subsequently tend to be lower quality and have higher turnover.
