There is no value for Tesla to allow customer-tunable values that are inefficient and/or compromise safety.sure, but “manually adjusted” doesn’t mean “all height settings available at all speeds”
and setting aside the relevant sense of “SUV” for present purposes:
“The E-Tron's default ride height is 6.8 inches. At speeds above 75 mph the suspension automatically drops the car 1.0 inch to reduce drag and improve handling. Switch to Off-Road mode on the Audi Drive Select menu, and the suspension lifts the E-Tron 1.4 inches. With 8.2 inches of ground clearance. On rough terrain the driver can also activate the “Lift” function. Compared with offroad mode here the body is another 15 millimeters (0.6 in) higher”
that last “lift” mode appears speed limited to <18.6mph
So that means the eTron has a max suspension range of 3” total, with half of that range speed limited - all while sitting on ~30” tires.
The CT sits on 35” tires, it’s base right height is almost certainly higher than the eTron’s max “lift” 8.8” mode, and while we don’t yet know the actual release specs it was purported to have 16” of total suspension select range
here’s a compare of the eTron “SUV” in lift mode compared to what we’ve seen of a CT in a lifted mode (for perspective, don’t forget the CT’s tires are 5” taller):
