Tesla Model X: Air Suspension
NOTE: When Model X starts, you may hear the sound of the compressor as the air suspension system's reservoir fills with air.
Your Model X is equipped with Adaptive Air Suspension that offers superior ride quality and allows you to choose a softer or firmer ride based on your preference. When carrying loads, the system also maintains a level height between the front and rear. You can manually adjust the ride height to suit your circumstances (for example, you can raise Model X when you need extra ground clearance, such as when driving on a steep driveway or ramp, in deep snow, over large speed bumps, parking curbs, etc.).

system, a yellow indicator lights up on the
