Thanks! Changing the setting to low next time I drive!As far as I have experienced not! I’ve been driving with the air suspension on low since I have the car (11/2018) and both my winter set (OEM 19” Slipstream) and my summer set (21” Breyton with 285 in the rear) show equal wear on the tires. To make it even better, although this is probably more related to my driving style, the wear on the tires is far less then expected. I’ve driven 30K kilometers on my 21” Breyton and still have 7mm of profile, so I expect a minimum of 60K kilometers on this set. Same was the case when I had my Audi A6, although I thought the Tesla would wear them out more. The 19” OEM with 25K also still look like new.
Thanks. I never get too close to curbs right now with the setting on Standard height.Watch your parking curbs!!! Front bumper damage risk!!!
Is there anything wrong with with leaving the Air suspension in Low setting ALL the time? I have the OEM 19 inch slipstreams.
Thanks for the detailed feedback! I plan on installing the 20 inch Model X slipstreams next year - they will have 255/35 front and 295/30 rear - so hopefully that will also be fine in the Low setting all the time.there are only 2 issues: reduced ground clearance and increased tire wear; especially with 21"s which doesn't apply to you.
(well 3 if you complain about getting in and out of the car, but I don't think 1" lower makes a difference but some might say otherwise)
If neither of these apply then yes, why not use low setting all the time? It will get a little better efficiency and it is better on the powertrain. (drive shafts (axles) being more level and straighter into the jackshaft). * I have read that the model S has been raised in its various ride height settings over its first few years I assume for less risk of the undercarriage (battery) bottoming out on freeway expansion joints

Mine is on low 100% of the time, I can see some increased inside rear tire wear; but it is minor enough to not worry about. That is the area from the edge of the tire to where the tread starts, not on the inside of the tread itself.

I find it troublesome in winter, the snow accumulates inside the wheel well and starts rubbing on wheels when making a turn.Is there anything wrong with with leaving the Air suspension in Low setting ALL the time? I have the OEM 19 inch slipstreams.

And, by the way, what's the point of constantly driving on low setting?

for strangers to see you drive by and go "that 1 inch lower looks cool". (I think)
It’s a matter of personal preference for style/looks and minimal improvement in other areas (range, handling, blah blah). That’s why Eibach, H&R, etc. exist, to provide drivers with options to lower their cars. Not really a debate topic because there’s no right answer. Same thing for tires - ultra sticky and expensive Michelin PSS or budget 50K mile warranty Nankang. They’re just tires right? All up to what’s important for individuals.And, by the way, what's the point of constantly driving on low setting?
