I doubt off road ability will be on Tesla's radar. That said ground clearance isn't the end all, be all for offroad ability. If that low point is say the rear axle pumpkin, it's not going to be much of a problem. Now higher clearance that give better approach, departure, and break over angles along with 100% locked drivetrain (true 4 wheels driven), and lots of suspension articulation is what works. Why a Wrangler Rubicon is the king of this ability on a very old drivetrain layout and suspension design.
