I don't know the exact conditions that raise/lower it but I do know that when I'm on the freeway, my suspension is lowered even though I keep my Macan on normal mode 100% of the time. So that means there is at least one condition where if you're above X mph, it automatically lowers the suspensions so it makes sense if you come to a stop, it raises it back up.

Thanks for the super quick response!

The problem is that I feel it when I am in my garage, which is a 20-year-old relatively new construction super flat surface.

I guess I’ve never put a level on the ground in there, but I’ve done some woodworking and other things and it’s completely flat

That said- that one time with my friend in the driveway was certainly on an incline, not steep, but definitely not flat
This has also happened to me for no reason in my garage, which I'm sure is level enough, It was kinda freaky gotta say

Just wanted to report back that after having my car for three days flashing the latest update - I’m actually noticing the problem even more now

It has happened in my garage twice and at charging stations twice all since I had the update applied.

This is absolutely not the car automatically leveling itself

On the highway the other day going about 75 mph the suspension felt super soft. Right before that I have been going faster and I wonder if when it raised back up, it went too far or something.

I’m trying to make another appointment but they want me to drive around with the mechanic and I can’t do that for like 12 hours until it actually happens

(unrelated sidenote - one of the reasons I originally had them take the car in was because it takes up to six attempts to get out of the driver side door, which would of course be annoying on a car that cost 1/3 as much - that was not fixed either)

Got a video of it - Had the car for about 8 months. The first 5 or so months this did not happen. Now it happens all the time.

I keep the car in "low" mode all the time. Despite what the manual and people say - it has never, and still does not, put itself in normal mode when I get in to go drive after having parked it for a while.

This instance was not that bad, sometimes it goes up super high before settling after I drive for a minute.
