Tesla Model X Gets Stuck On Aussie Beach

There’s a stereotype out there among enthusiasts that Tesla fanboys know little to nothing about cars. Whether true or not, Tesla owners keep doing things to reinforce the stereotype, like this Model X driver who ventured onto a sandy beach of Bribie Island in Queensland, Australia recently.

Considering how incredibly heavy Teslas are, especially the Model X, this is just a bad idea. I can say having grown up in the desert, this sort of thing happens quite a bit with big diesel pickups which suffer from the same weight issue. But at least those trucks usually have four-wheel drive.

People are claiming this Tesla Model X wasn’t one of the all-wheel-drive trims. I can’t confirm that from the few photos floating around online, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it wasn’t. Even if it did put power to all four wheels, with how heavy they are that might not have been enough.
