What are your drive settings - Acceleration, Ride & Handling, Ride Height?

[NSCyber]

Curious to know how everyone has their drive set up?

Acceleration: Chill vs Standard?
Ride & Handling: Relaxed vs. Focused?
Ride Height: Low, Medium, High?

Do you have auto lower at park enabled? I think it’s great and useful but also think the car looks best on High when parked. Should we be concerned about putting any undue stress on the air compressors by over use or nothing to be concerned about?

EDIT: What’s everyone’s ambiant lighting color?

Park: High
Ride Height: High

I use custom, with standard acceleration and higher preferred drive height. That usually keeps the truck in medium most of the time, still low on freeways at high speeds of course. It rarely is in high actually.

Do like the look of high agreed, but really have to jump out and climb in somewhat a bit too much so have been using the entry mode still. Figure the system is under warranty right? ;-)

I do like that you can set the scroll wheel on left for a long hold to suspension changes though so may turn off entry mode by default and use that to lower when want to only...

I've had my FS AWD one week as of today, so this is subject to change, haha!!

Custom
Acceleration: Standard
Ride & Handling: Relaxed
Preferred Ride Hight: Higher
Auto Lower: Enabled

I also do custom, with standard acceleration and higher drive height & relaxed. I originally had lower drive height selected but found that going over large speed bumps would bottom out the suspension, so thought the higher setting might solve that.

I also have 'entry' set for when in park. It makes it much easier for my 5'0" wife to get in.

Park: High
Ride Height: High

Doesn’t it need to be in off-road mode to stay in High? Just got my VIN so eagerly waiting for it.

Does “higher” just adjust based on speed? Ie. medium for streets and low for freeway?

Does auto lower stay in the entry mode until you get back in or does it raise up after you lock and walk away?

Yes On-Road Modes (tesla.com)

When set to Higher, the ride height automatically adjusts between Medium and Low to balance ride comfort with handling and range. On highways or while driving at highway speeds, ride height adjusts to Low (see Suspension).

Mostly Comfort on Beast, unless Baja on dirt roads.

We use lower for entry on park. FWIW, its easier on suspension/ tires if it onky needs to transition from a lower height when stationary. High-> entry is more scrubbing than low->entry.
Air compressor should be fine.

Correct, I'm in Off-Road High, which the base height for that mode and isn't speed limited. I'm testing that as I plan to run a large wheel/tire setup in the future.

In "On-road" mode, you have Entry, Low, Medium, and High-limited 25mph.

High seems to be more than just speed limited but distance limited. It won’t stay in high for me. Live on pot holed gravel road. I set to high, drive 15mph and it quickly reverts to medium. The manual states 100 ft. I don’t understand the use case here. Why will it only allow me to drive 100ft?

“On-road” mode will drop to medium once the speed-limited threshold is met. I believe 25mph. I was in Off-Road/High. This is a 22 mile highway drive to work, with no change in battery percentage used between that setting, medium, or low (current setting).
