I wish Tesla could add suspension height adjustment from the app!

[CybertruckCovers]

I always like the look of the Cybertruck when it’s raised to the highest position when parked. The only problem is getting in and out of it when it’s that high. I think a nice addition to the mobile app would be able to remotely adjust the suspension once you’ve gotten out of the vehicle after it’s parked. Obviously, it wouldn’t work when connected to a charger, but when it’s just sitting there in a parking lot, it would be nice to be able to raise it a little to show it off some and lower it from the app for re-entry.

I second the notion!

Probably liability. If no one is around and the car lowers itself onto a person or curb and injures someone/something, “how can Tesla enable such irresponsible behavior”, etc

This feature could be "responsibly" employed by using a perimeter sensor. We already have this feature built in when opening the doors using the mobile app when standing nearby. If you are outside of the vehicle and within several feet of your Cybertruck, you should be able to safely determine if a person is under your truck, and probably with even better visibility than if you're sitting in the driver seat. What if somebody is crouching behind your truck and you open the tailgate remotely through the app? That could cause a nasty bump on somebody's head.

I have said this before, but it is with repeating: the truck would benefit from a "kneel mode". The truck can be kneeled from the service menu but it is time consuming. Being able to kneel would make it much easier for people with disabilities to get in the truck.

Precisely why we will never see this feature. One dead kid crushed under a Cybertruck is the absolute last thing on planet earth we need to read in a headline.

But couldn't a kid get under your truck while you're sitting in it too?

100% support kneel mode, also "dump mode" for lowering the rear only! LFG!

Sure, but it's on you to check your surroundings before moving tons of metal up and down. And at least being in or around the vehicle you would (should) have some audio cludes that something is amiss.

I would think it would be easier to check if anything is underneath the vehicle if you were outside it, rather than inside it.

What is “kneel mode”? And how is it better/different than “easy entry” height?

The suspension is fully deflated. Drops the truck another few inches. The suspension must be reinflated before driving tho.

Original prototype had “load mode” which raised the front and lowered the back for the ramp that never came to be. Shame they didnt include it in the software.

The app doesn’t require that someone be looking. You could do it from inside your home or office. It could also be unintentional. Leave the app open in your pocket.
