Tuning cars to off-road versions have been in trend, but now since the automotive world is aggressively progressing towards electrification, electric vehicles too are undergoing an all-terrain makeover. A video has been posted on YouTube where one can see a Tesla Model 3 being modified into an ultimate off-road beast that looks straight out of a sci-fi movie.

In the video posted by Grind Hard Plumbing Co, one can see a salvaged Tesla Model 3 undergoing intense work. The team retrieved a Model 3 dual motor from an accident vehicle and bought the parts needed to restore it to its original state. They also worked to build a custom tube bumper that was later welded to the chassis of the electric vehicle. The Tesla car was also given suspension and wheels to increase its height.
