I was just looking at those; I want fronts and backs too! (I know the rears don't do much but I want them to match lol

Wow, I hit a nerve. When you start insulting someone's intelligence, you've lost the argument.
I'll dumb it down for you too:
One pedal driving is decelerating or accelerating using one pedal. Coming to a complete stop is an enhancement to this process. I guess in your world, every time someone improves upon an existing concept, they are now the creator of said concept.
The original poster said Tesla is a leader for using one pedal driving. ALL of their cars have it as a default function. They have been doing it since 2008. Telling the original poster they are wrong, because BMW added to the concept, makes you wrong.
Did that help? If not, go back and read as it may have confused you.
Looks like Tesla rented out the Nurburgring for some record attempts! Plus at the end you can see a couple of (camera?) cars for possibly some promo material.

Yup.. I learned the hard way a few days ago. The suspension was set on low and then it didn't adjust higher when I was pulling into a parking spot with a cement divider. A few very minor scratches under the front bumper. Touch up paint ordered lol.

All I have to say is everyone else worked to refine the concept of one pedal driving. And I'm sad its still not the default on every EV.

Okay, so just to make sure I understand:
1. 10-15 ft before parking lot, set ride height to medium.
2. once I’m in parking lot, set ride height to low.
3. Park car and carry out activities
4. Drive out of parking lot and it will automatically switch back to medium, then once leaving it will automatically switch to low?
Electric-Car Trivia: When Was Regenerative Braking First Used?
Regenerative braking is a standard and expected part of any electrified car now, from Honda's mild hybrids up through battery-electric vehicles like the Tesla Model S. It lets the car recapture energy from momentum, which would otherwise be wasted as brake heat, by running the electric motor in...

If that's your argument, sure. But it's a darn silly one you keep using to try to "win" this argument. If you can't get from your house to the local convenience store, no matter how close by it is, without using the brake pedal, you aren't "one pedal driving."
One pedal driving is accelerating or decelerating (to 0) using one pedal.
What is One-Pedal Driving and How Does it Work?
Many plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles offer one-pedal driving. This unique benefit provides the ability to stop and go using only the accelerator pedal. A growing number of electrified vehicles make this functionality available through their regenerative braking systems.

You might be overcomplicating it a bit trying to "process" it out.
Ride height is entirely your call driving around freeways, city streets, parking lots, etc. Not here to say either one is better than the other. However, I would avoid high and very high for an extended period of time.
With regards to getting the auto-suspension to work, the effort is all on the first time.
1. Right at or as close as possible to the driveway, change the suspension to clear the driveway. Tell the car to remember the suspension position as well (separate click on the suspension screen).
2. Wait for it to stop raising
3. Enter the parking lot / driveway
4. Upon leaving, make sure it raises again
5. Drive away and it will set bake to medium (and eventually low) based upon the speed. Unless you have selected "keep high above 35 miles per hour" or "keep very high above 15 miles per hour".
Next time you are approaching the driveway, within 10 - 15 feet of that spot, the car will start to auto-raise (or lower) the suspension in preparation for you approaching the driveway. No need to stop this time as long as the suspension has stopped performing what it needs to do.

Both of you gentlemen do as you please. I'd strongly recommend not taking delivery mid to late September. I have this date for my model 3 (which I probably won't buy) and I would never ever ever take delivery of a Tesla at the end of the qtr. Even if it looks fine externally, it's not worth the risk of what they did not put together right on the inside.
You think it will be that bad? I thought about that but I am seeing a lot good reports lately from people getting their cars. Am I just having wishful thinking??? I really want the car now! HA
Oh yeah, definitely. Like clockwork "meh, this qtr will be better!" And a few weeks after delivery they are in the shop for rattles and broken *sugar*

@Tigers has a good point in that this quarter will be the most chaotic one to date. However, I would not overthink it. You will be fine - just inspect it. There will be some with issues but just look it over and reject if in doubt.
However, do NOT take delivery if it has the yoke steering in it. I read on some threads that it will kill you and it is impossible to learn how to use it.
Just ask them to remove the yoke, cap the steering column hole and turn on that FSD software thingy Elon keeps farting on about.However, do NOT take delivery if it has the yoke steering in it. I read on some threads that it will kill you and it is impossible to learn how to use it.
"Look ma, no hands!"
i see you didnt mention that no stalks/buttons. LOLFWIW I love the yoke
Also. The in-fighting between @AnselmDante and @kgoroway is what happens when @2021plaid is not here to give you a pat on the back. That bot is going to really blow a fuse when it starts reading the 1s and 0s today.
Wait some of these have yoke steering??????@Tigers has a good point in that this quarter will be the most chaotic one to date. However, I would not overthink it. You will be fine - just inspect it. There will be some with issues but just look it over and reject if in doubt.

Definitely will be looking over it very closely! I just don't see how I can wait if I have the opportunity to get my hands on it.

Honestly, from what I've seen and read, it seems like it's a crapshoot whether delivery at EOQ or at any point in time throughout the year. I just think you need to look everything over carefully and identify any possible issues right at the beginning to see if they will fix (which it seems they're typically amenable at at least trying to fix). In addition, we've heard reports that Tesla seems to be doing some EXTRA QC checks just in the past month or so at the delivery/service centers before releasing the vehicles for delivery pickup by the customer. So we'll see how it goes. Still no VIN yet so not sure if I get my car by the end of this month or some time in Oct. Thank you for thinking of us though.

Semantics. You are the one despreately trying to "win" this argument. Here, I can find a link to support my argument as well:If that's your argument, sure.
