Most don’t, but electric cars like this Tesla just have a big battery pack underneath so they can have the underside flat for better aero.

In addition to what everyone else said, some cars also have plastic covers underneath for aerodynamics.
And for protection from road salt splash up in winter

that is the battery pack
depends how much you spend on the car
TheKoolAidMans
it's a tesla they are very diffrent from traditional cars, also why the back flew so high all the weight is in bottom of the back
zalurker
Tesla has a flat battery pack running the entire bottom of the car, with a special plate to protect it from damage. (One caught fire once)
unluckyandbored
No. Most don't have that.
captiandavie
adding on here, more cars are starting to add paneling to smooth the bottom like evs. its great for aero and efficiency so… no but also yes
TeflonTrout
Most of them certainly do not. At most there is plastic sheets going from under front bumper to, or just past, the oil pan. However,...
High performance cars, mostly purpose designed race cars, can have aluminum or carbon fiber that cover the whole underside, which...
Makes such a big difference between reducing drag, or in some cases even producing downforce, they are banned for safety/fairness reasons
QQTrain
No, they do not. The underbody is ribbed for structural stability. Well observed imgurian.
TitillatingPterodactyl
I was always told they were ribbed for pleasure. Huh.
yaboiskinnypeen
Ain't much pleasure if you're pushing rope. It's both for pleasure and to keep it stiff.

No, auto engineers don't design cars for off-road or jumps. It's mostly for aerodynamics, but someone said to protect the batteries. Tesla?
electric car...what you're looking at is the battery protective plate of a Model S or Model 3
Ah, that makes sense, I've only ever worked underneath ICE cars, high voltage scares me, lol.
LordDarkfable
Its an electric tesla apparently
That's an electric car guy...looks like a Tesla. Actually, a bit impressed since a Model S weighs almost 5k lbs or 2,200Kg
captainfakeypants
Gravity affects a 5000lbs car in exactly the same way as a 2000lbs car.
well...yes. the both get accelerated downward at 9.8m/s per second. But the amount of energy needed to have a car that weight, fly that far
Dude, what the fuck? It's doing maybe 30-40mph. That's neither surprising nor impressive.
BigFckingRocket
It’s much harder to get a 5000lb car off the ground than a 2000lb car
Mr21782Man
Yes, but you need to get it up to speed. Getting 5000 lbs fast enough to get 5 feet off the ground uphill is no easy feat.
It's only going 30-40mph and pretty much any car, even heavy, underpowered trucks are capable of climbing that hill at that speed with ease.
Tesla Model S. Officially a torque monster even in its base model 0-60 in 4's. Top of the line model 0-60 in 1.9s, 1ft roll out.
KeepThoseHoundsAtBay
That's just how a model s looks. Other cars have drivetrain and exhaust on the bottom, that one just has a bunch of batts

That's just how a model s looks. Other cars have drivetrain and exhaust on the bottom, that one just has a bunch of batts

I’ve seen minor accidents cost $10,000 to repair on an S. This, most likely, will total the car out. People are so stupid.

The car in the video is definitely damaged beyond repair.
