I have a Model X with OEM 22" wheels and air suspension. The ride is harsher than I expected (compared to my wife's Audi A8). I am thinking of decreasing the air pressure in the tires from 41 psi to 32 psi. Would this make a difference? Would the Low Tire Pressure indicator light on the dash stay on? How would this affect tire life?

If you decrease the tire pressure to 32 psi, your TPMS light would stay on constantly. Aside from safety concerns, the lower pressure would increase your contact patch and lower your range by quite a bit.
Your best bet is to sell the 22" wheels and get the 20" wheels or look for someone local who would want to trade.

Low tire pressure will wear your tires out even faster plus making driving handling worse. I would suggest you get 20" rims/tires for smoother ride and longer range if it bothers you that much.

I'm in the go big or go home camp 
........22s with Scorpions on the X and 21s with ContiSilents on the S.
Love them both but understand not everyone does. And that's ok.

22s with GoodYears are awesome
I did the same swap and was really surprised i didnt lose any comfort and much range
It is less mushy and solid ride with 22s
