Where are you seeing this in the manual? All I could find was on page 93 under "Lowering".
"Automatic Lowering
When Model S is moving above typical driveway or parking lot speeds, Smart Air Suspension automatically lowers ride height to improve aerodynamics and handling. For most average speed driving, the suspension is automatically set to Standard. As described above, when you make manual height adjustments, the suspension automatically lowers at increased driving speeds.
When carrying loads, Smart Air Suspension also maintains a level height between the front and rear."
Incidentally, I had zero load in my car. Sounds like a flaw to me and if I had damaged my bumper I'd be pissed.
the model S self levels after parking. this is a feature to rebalance weight across the tires. if the car sits for a long time with more weight shifted on a set of tires they will begin cupping and this will lead to premature and irregular wear patterns. again, the leveling is a feature of the car designed to increase the longevity of the tires. this way different than suspension lowering. the car does not lower suspension levels after parking, it only self-levels.
