Why would the car go to Low when parked? I'd want it to go to High 1 to make it easier to enter and exit. This should be programmable.
Why would the car go to Low when parked?
I just had my test drive last week while in florida, and was told by my co-pilot that the S automatically goes to LOW when set to park.
I saw this in real time by looking at the car's reflection in the store window whilst in the driver's seat.
This should be adjustable by software to prevent such curb rash.
Probably less of a power consumption issue and more of a mechanical cycling issue. You probably wouldn't want the air suspension cycling up and down every time you stop at a stoplight or slow down.
The warning card that come with the car says that the air suspension "may" adjust itself to level the car even when the car is off. This is why they have a tow mode that disables the air suspension. So, if you park the car and then passengers exit or you fill or empty the trunk or frunk, the can may change its height while parked and off.
Did the nose cone really fall off? How did you get it back on, and how is it attached?
I didn't say the nose cone fell off the car, rather that the nose of the car fell off the parking bumper as I backed out.
I too read it as the nose fell of the car.
How high are the parking bumpers in Colorado?? I parked here today at two places and both were low enough for me to ride above them if I needed too. I should mention that driving the Roadster I'm used to pulling up to parking bumpers without pulling over them (even when I can't see them). BTW, I'm glad you raised the subject to think about it because it's impossible to see the front of the hood from the drivers seat.
Yeah, well, the one I rode over was low enough so that when I parked I didn't touch it, but then the car lowered itself.
And, I think, if we were to choose to avoid putting the nose over the parking bumpers altogether, then, the Model S is long enough that we might leave the butt hanging out well into the drive lanes between parking spots!

I played with the suspension settings just now. I'd left the setting at Very High after driving it this afternoon and putting it on charge: when I got in the car it was still set at Very High. After a short drive and returning to the garage, the suspension had automatically been lowered to Standard. I put the car in Park and watched: nothing moved. I opened the door and watched: nothing. I manually set it to Low, but I didn't see any change. I manually set it to Very High, and it raised first the rear end of the car and then the front end of the car to the new height. I manually set it to Low, and it gave me an error message saying that setting was not allowed. I manually selected Standard, and it gave me the same error message. So there it sits in my garage, at the Very High setting, where I'd want it anyway, for ease of entry.
