I'm overthinking here for future winter issues and want to prepare ahead since this is my first time using an EV. I'm super pumped about my new Model 3 on order, but a little worried about the low clearance in the winter. Anyone else out there in the snowbelt thinking about lifting theirs? I know there's no official lift kit for the Model 3 (unlike the Model S with air suspension), but wondering if anyone's gone the custom route or has any creative solutions.
 
I think the clearance is high enough. If you want it to be winter ready, just simply buy winter tires so that it'll be capable.

No you're not overthinking. This is something we overthink when we're new to EVs. But just like a gas car, you just have to prepare by getting a good 'ol winter tire and you'll be set.

You can also install a set of coil covers but you will need to adjust them seasonally after you install or remove the winter tires.
 
Hmmm... Now that I think about it, ground clearance is 5.5", which sounds about average for sedans in this range. Maybe it's not a good idea after all and winter tire is a good choice.
