Driving with the wing up. No shame.

No.
Last night somebody in a Model X did not like that my car was around his. Slowed down immediately when I just got ahead of him and stayed far back. Further down the road he caught up as I caught a brief red light.. When I made my turn I noticed his wing was up this time. The awareness within other drivers is real.
Thats a very cool story. Bro.

As far as I am aware the spoiler only needs to extend to its highest position when the aerodynamics change of the car from the opening of the sunroof. The sunroof changes the airflow over the car and I am assuming increases the low pressure area behind the car which could make it unstable if the spoiler wasn't fully extended into its highest position. The highest position is probably not good for efficiency since its creating so much drag, so it doesn't make sense (as far as function) for it to be in that position at any other time. It would be kind of cool for track days, but I am assuming if it really assisted with traction at low speeds, the Sport (+) setting should include a fully extended spoiler position.
Since you cannot control its deployment in any capacity, I'm not sure why this is of such interest to everyone. Driving around I've seen them in multiple positions. I don't even know if there's only 3 position, there could be more. Its been very hot here and my spoiler has been deploying at 20mph regularly to help with cooling.
My only testing suggestion would be to perhaps run the car in Sport + and see if the spoiler extends further on hwy speeds.

Fyi The .2 has the air intakes under the wing. Lots of plumbing and not ideal design. Also helps with cooling. When im pounding on it or on track its always up. Im not trying to get busy with anyone there so Im ok with it.

Is there any indication on the dashboard when the spoiler automatically goes up at speed (on a 991.1)?
