Thoughts? Not sure if i want to spend the extra $ on an air suspension. Out of warranty repairs are pricey for airsuspension down the road... what are some other benefits? Is the ride a lot smoother? Anyone here opting for the normal suspension, if so why?

just configured and went with coils... saved a bit and prefer a stiffer ride. Wife said, why do i need air suspension... lol
this rides much higher so i should never have issues with bottoming out or scratching curbs etc. It would be nice, but saving 3k is also nice.
I had air suspension on my MB in the past, it was floaty and when one went bad after warranty expired, it cost around 2-3k to fix a single air bag.
Years ago people laughed at me when I posted Model X buyers would be able to economize over Model S owners because of the greater clearance and less essential need for air suspension and not needing to pay for a panoramic roof. At that time I was also hoping the 3rd row seats would be standard. Oh well. And I would never have predicted at that time that the larger battery option would require the purchase of air suspension. The real cost for me personally of the X over the S is that with the S I probably would have gone with the 70D for the value. With the X's difficulty in putting things on the roof, I wanted the option to tow a trailer long distances with things like kayaks which got me to buy 90D -- so much for economizing. Like many I cringed when I realized I would spend over 100k for a car, but I am sure it will be worth it ...
