Active suspension and slopes

Just thought I'd share this info. I asked them because both my home & work carparks got ramps. There are many carparks with more than 10 degree slopes, so be careful where you're heading. Also even if the approach is cleared, the under armour might still be scratched. Anyone can do trigonometry?

As discussed here are the initial angles of front approach for Model S. This is based off the length from nose of Model S to center of front-wheels being 36.5". The angle of approach is defined as the acute angle created when a sloped surface intersects a flat plane.
Highest setting - 11.3 degrees

Similarly, here are the initial angles of rear approach for Model S, calculated at various air suspension height settings. This is based off the length from nose of Model S to center of rear-wheels being 43.5".
Highest setting - 9.5 degrees
