Default 2023 A8 Niggling problems

Hi Guys,
have a grand total of 5,500 Km's after 1 year and winter hibernation. Car has a few issues already. the trunk lock button on the trunk lid to close and lock the car almost never works, The car has asked several times where the key was when it's in my pocket, and there doesn't seem to be a way to keep the ride height at the highest setting. The streets in Regina are a joke at the best of times looking more like roller coasters than streets but now with the added benefit of spring pot holes. the streets should be called holercoasters!! I have scraped the lower valence already and after reading the manual, there doesn't seem to be a way to set the ride height permanently higher. Is this true? or am I doing something wrong.

Correct. Not an option

Second that, I believe once you hit 20 mph (may be less?) the ride height goes back to normal.

I can firm it's 30 Canadian units, on our side of the border (km/hr)

Sorry you are having issues but my 2022 S8 is flawless. Never been happier with a car.

My 2023 S8 constantly loses connection with the key in my pocket. Sometimes I get 3 warnings in a 2 mile ride.
