Various discussion of the ride height of the Model S and other *EVs mentioned in the discussion. Took pictures my Volt (26.7k plug EV miles) today with a piece of wood marked. Front air dam is made up of 3 replaceable parts and is intended to be flexible (driveway, parking curb, etc, etc). Just posting this for reference. I'm sure whatever enhancements that happen to the Model S in it's first years end up on the Model X which I have a deposit on. Obviously the Volt went through (and continues to have some PR reference) to fires so we Volt owners understand the bizarre media attention/articles and public misunderstanding or lack of caring for details besides headlines.
FYI, my Volt is a 2011. Here is a picture of a 2013. Looks like they removed some of underbody plastic shields. Looks like the concave areas on either side of the battery are pretty high. http://www.wanderingsol.comule.com/Rides/DarksideOfTheVolt.html
