Couldn't find this in Tesla's specs for the Model S. What's the lift-over height for the rear hatch? This is the measurement from the ground to the lower lip of the rear hatch -- in other words how far you have to lift items like a suitcase to clear the lip. Anyone know?
I seem to recall that by default the air suspension lowers which is supposed to be for ease of entry and exit. This always struck me as odd since this is a fairly low car to begin with and most elderly folks who need assistance to sit need a lift chair rather than something lower, so I would have assumed higher would be easier. But considering the jump seats, maybe it makes sense. Would be much easier to lift kids over a lowered rear bumper than a raised one. Your question brought this to mind... But I don't have the car yet so I will have to defer to others for the numbers. Cheers.
I will have to watch next time I open the back (e.g. watch the ride height). I will set it to max height and then open the back.
I just ran out to measure - 25 1/2 - or 26 inches when parked. and It seems pretty flat across the width of the opening, which is nice
Thanks. I was curious as I plan to occasionally transport my Yellow Lab in the rear hatch space. If I back against the curb she can probably make that jump without help.
