Didn’t know this was possible! Go into service mode and deflate suspension. Can do just front, back or all. Looks pretty cool!

Some may not give a 'Bo Diddley Squat'
about this, but this is putting out some serious Heart BEATS from where stand!

Probably not great for the compressor or the suspension. Might even void the warranty.

entry mode is only a few inches higher anyway.

not recommended.

Interesting. Looks like Citroën where you change the tires by using the suspension and jack stands. No need for for a jack.

No way. The air suspension is constantly adjusting. It’s a simple mechanical system
Driving on air suspension without air is a bad idea. Don’t do it
I’m worried more about the bad ride quality vs damaging anything.
Looks good! Can you drive as normal in that mode?
Truck will let you drive it but probably a bad idea ?

Compressor wouldn’t be affected as it’s adjusting the suspension all the time. I had a valve leak on my Plaid model S so the airbag would deflate every day for about a month. Tesla fixed the valve and said zero damage to compressor or any components.

I asked my sc advisor to ask tesla if “slamming” the CT would affect the warranty and they said only if it can be shown to lead to damage to the vehicle. They also said that simply accessing the service menu and making changes could void the warranty as it is reserved for use by Tesla technicians—not the customer.

so don’t cry when you have an issue and then Tesla informs you that it’s not covered because your actions voided your warranty.?

Thanks for the info. I’ll take my risks

Why isn't this just a feature we can use for Cars and Coffee. I want to do this every time I park now but I don't want to void anything by going into the service menu to do this.

F-117 liftoff in your second picture. Matte Black looks great!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees that. I wanna wrap mine in matte CF when I get it. Might even add some aircraft related warning decals...

Maybe it's just me, but the Carolina Squat looks like your rear suspension went out, and you're too cheap to get it fixed.
