Sooo... for $1,500 I'll have a noticeably smoother ride?
It's a curious option, to adjust the height of the car. I drive in the Northeast, where potholes resemble asteroid craters and there are many hills. However, I don't think I'd want to have to 'think' about the height of my car off the ground every day and continuously be adjusting.
You don't do that now do you? The option is there if you need to. For example, my driveway is fairly steep and if I don't enter at an angle I almost always scrape. Well if I had an adjustable suspension I would raise it at that point. Depending on how low it goes, it might also help if you were loading big things into the hatch, or having your kids climb into the jump seats in the back etc.
I think it's designed to be a useful accessory, not an annoyance during daily driving.
Yeah, I've never really driven any car that was so low to the ground that it was really ever a concern. But if the Model S is really as low as it sounds, I guess it's better to have the option than not. I think I'd be much more interested in the Active Air Suspension if I knew it really made the ride a smoother experience. I've always found Lexus' to have the smoothest ride, but I'm not sure if it's because of some kind of "Air Suspension" or just that they have better shocks.
I don't know how low the Model S is, and I'm not saying that will be an issue lol. Let's just sit back and wait and see.

I was told that the system has an 'auto' setting that will adjust by speed.

Active Air Suspension
Use the touchscreen to raise or lower Model S when traversing thick snow or pulling into steep driveways
Voice control would be cool. "Holy Shift"/"Oh Fudge" etc would raise the car to max.
If a switch can be hit fast that would work but I think this is going to be through the touchscreen so it won't be so snappy to react to a situation or driveway. Voice control would be cool. "Holy Shift"/"Oh Fudge" etc would raise the car to max.
