I don't think you can as it auto adjusts back if you change speed up and then back down.
The low setting on the dash is strictly for parking/picture purposes only. The car only drives in the low setting when it has been traveling at or above 55 mph for a period of time (~1min).
So am I to understand that it goes to low automatically above 55 mph?
Every time.
I did not know that! Can I defeat it when going faster than 55? I ask only for when there is a lot of snow and slush on the freeway and I not want the front air dam get ripped off.

With a lot of snow and slush on the freeway you go faster than 55 mph?
You should not go that fast when the road is filled with that much snow and slush...
I've sometimes wished I could keep it at High while driving. I've encountered snow above the air dam on a 60 kph (40 mph) road, and the car was basically dragging along. A bit disconcerting but no damage.
Snow tires, traction control and stability control. Also, many times, dry pavement is punctuated with snow and slush.

Well, maybe TMC will do some more testing in snow country and make it an option?????
Around here, when it snows, half the people go HALF as fast -&- half the people go TWICE as fast. Makes it all very exciting. So I'm waiting on a MX AWD. ML
To: [email protected]I think it's a good point to make that we should have an option to have the car maintain standard ride height over 55. It should be a relatively easy to implement.
Funny, I thought Model S was supposed to be the "Best car in the world that just happens to be electric." Well, the best car in the world should not need to stay garaged at home any time it snows, should it? I don't think expecting the car to be usable in all but the most extreme conditions is shoehorning it into something it's not. Just sayin'. :wink:The design intent of the Model S was never a car meant to drive in the snow. Not on a regular basis anyway. It's styling, dimensions, and suspension are really meant to be a highway running car. The Model X is the car that will be designed to handle snow better.
I wouldn't try to shoe-horn it in to be something it's not.
Just sayin.
