So my driveway has a bit of a slope to it (picture included) but what i"m seeing is when the car attempts to kneel or I set any of the height modes that the driver said is set to a very different height than the other 3 wheels. (On a flat service they all seem to be okay) for example in Kneel mode the driver whenn is from ground to top of trim 39" the driver side same meassurement is 36" . When I set the to lowest ride height the driver is 38" and the right front wheel is 34.5"

I see similar behavior when it tries to kneel on any type of incline. Earlier updates it wouldn't even attempt to kneel in my driveway, now it tries but ends up uneven and just seems to drop one side a little. This has the fun side effect of it shifting around for a while during the first drive as it tries to correct the unevenness.

Kneeling on level ground works fine.

My gen 1 Kneeled fine in my driveway, my gen 2 also worked fine until 2 updates ago. Now it kneels very slow, uneven or not at all in my driveway. Works fine on flat ground.

Interesting, when yours Kneels wrong does it list to one side like mine, a 3" difference is pretty big feels like I'm jumping down out of the car. What's odd is the slope is front to back in my driveway the slop from front to right is negligible. I did try camp level mode for fun and it told me go find a flatter place to park :)

I think i've seen a little side to side, but not like yours. Mine is usually more front to back. No side to side slope on my driveway either. Sometimes is doesn't really do anything the indicator blinks for a long time then goes solid like it's done but then after I get out I hear a hiss noise and it will drop down but not always, sometimes it will sit all night and never lower so. IDK. It's weird.
