Just wondering, why would you not always keep the car in Very High? As soon as you get up to freeway speeds, the car is doing to lower itself to the same level, right?

Because it's manual and you have to remember to do it.
In my experience, the transition point from High to Standard is at 19mph. The transition point from Low to Standard appears to be when you decelerate to 35mph (or so; I haven't pegged this yet).IIRC: If you set to "Very High" the car lowers automatically to "High" at 8mph and then from "high" to "Standard" at 15mph; it goes to "Low" at 55mph.

You might be correct; the speeds I quoted were from my memory of the DS delivery speech. However, I think that your numbers maybe just reflect the timelag from the digital speed acknowledgement to the mechanical height adjustment.
I hope that Tesla considers increasing these set points a little, for the High and Very High settings. When there's uncleared snow on the road, or you're driving a gravel road, it's reasonable to drive 25 mph but want the extra clearance.

This probably belongs in another thread, but then isn't the problem that Model S doesn't retain your desired suspension setting from driving session to driving session?
I never understood why Tesla doesn't do the Citroen thing and always raise the car up all the way when it's parked. It's not like any patent they had hasn't long ago expired.
But, then I don't understand why the car has to have settings. Seems like everyone would want a higher suspension at low speeds, even if just to avoid possible scraping from curbs, speed bumps, etc. What they might differ on is how high it should be at freeway speeds, but I don't think any of the settings affect that, right?

After 2 weeks of driving, I think the air suspension is a little stiff for me. I understand this is a sport sedan and all and wish if Tesla can provide a different settings for driver's preference, that will be great. Correct me if I am wrong, I doubt there is anything Tesla can do until MS version 2.0.

Just as a counter point, I am one of those people who would not want that. I actually want to keep my car in low mode at all times.
That isn't really a counterpoint at all since all of us really just want more control over the ride height (specificly if & when it changes).
