I'm remodeling my house. Does anyone know the approach and departure angles for the Model S. Ideally in both the lowered and raised suspension positions? Thanks!
Here was the reply from Tesla: This is an approximation, I did hand measurements that are subject to error. There are several curves in the underbody of the Model S , the approach angles are assuming that the hypotenuse is perfectly straight when in reality there are bends and ridges in the front and rear underbody panels. Approximate length from tip of front bumper to front wheel: 33 inches Approximate length from tip of rear bumper to rear wheel: 36 inches Low air suspension height: 5.2 inches Standard air suspension height: 6 inches High air suspension height: 6.9 inches Very high air suspension height: 7.3 inches Standard approach angle: ~10.4 degrees Standard departure angle: ~9.5 degrees
If you design your driveway with the correct angles, you won't scrape the car every time you forget to set to very high when going in and out.
