2022 Tesla Model S

[Mr. Jetson]

Haven't noticed this before, but when I set my 2022 Model S suspension on High, it seems to quickly revert to Medium . I understand that the setting changes after 35MPH, but I am wondering if this is the result of an update. Is it possible to set the suspension on High as a default (trying to avoid scrapping the bottom). How does the Auto setting affect this? Thanks.

The "high" setting is temporary and usually reserved for a specific GPS coordinate such as a steep driveway etc. So once you leave that area it will revert to standard or medium

Thank you.

To follow up after additional driving, it doesn't seem to make sense to have to change the suspension while driving to avoid bottoming out. Is there no way to set the 2022 MS suspension to "High" permanently?

There isnt.

Why would you want to set it to high permanently? What trails are you driving on all the time?

You can override the automatic lowering in High and Very High, but you have to keep you speed below the respective thresholds.

From the manual:

• Very High - When set to Very High, the suspension automatically lowers to the default ride height* (Medium or Low) after driving approximately 100 feet (30 meters) or when driving speed reaches 15 mph (24 km/h). To maintain the Very High setting for an unlimited distance until your driving speed reaches the speed threshold, touch Keep until 15 mph.
• High - When set to High, the suspension automatically lowers to the default ride height* (Medium or Low) after driving approximately 100 feet (30 meters) or when driving speed reaches 35 mph (56 km/h). To maintain the High setting for an unlimited distance until your driving speed reaches the speed threshold, touch Keep until 35 mph.
• When saving locations, Model S also saves the Keep until XX mph setting (if specified).

There currently is no way to set it in High permanently. But if you are really that concerned about bottoming out, you could get the N2itive adjustable lowering links, which supposedly can be used to raise the car up to one inch. That way your Medium setting will always sit an inch higher than stock.

Thanks for the tip @EVFamilyGrins
“touch Keep until 35 mph.” worked like a charm. I was driving around in the snow the other day and the car kept dropping down after a short distance.

I swear the car lower itself even if I am going slower than 10MPH on very high or 35 on high.

You can leave the suspension screen up while driving, and it will show you the level. My very high held to 15 on the money, but the high dropped down if I did not tap keep.
