New R1S, less than 800 miles. I've been leaving it in all purpose mode at standard height. No auto, to kneeling. My driveway is short and uneven. I've noticed when I park on my driveway, the air suspension, presumably, seems to make noise and move things, a little. You can see in photo things aren't even when I park on my driveway

Parked in my garage, essentially flat surface it happens some, but seems to be less.

Does the air suspension make small changes when stopped on uneven surfaces?

Iā€˜ve only had mine a month so I can’t really speak to what is ā€normalā€ but you are not alone. My driveway is very uneven (we’ll see what #8500 does to it) and I have a small bit of what sounds like adjusting when I start off in the mornings. Some clicks, tonks, and movement. Seems to settle down by the time I get out to the street.

It's a pretty active system. Are you positive you don't have kneel on in the first picture? The second pic looks totally normal height.

I noticed a little more movement with the last update. I'll Make a judgement after the next update that is supposed to drop in the next few days. The latest update seems to have R1S specific suspension changes.
