It is my understanding that to get manually controlled Air Ride Adaptive Suspension is to buy a Sierra EV Denali. Is this correct?

Height is manually controlled up to a specific speed, then it adjusts for best aero performance... also I think dampening response is adaptive.

The term adaptive suspension has been applied to different levels of complexity. There are and were adaptive suspensions that hydraulically raised and lowered the wheels to aid ride or handling. This was actually referred to as active suspension (banned in F1). Air suspensions don't react fast enough to do that. In the SEV case, it applies to changing the suspension height and shock absorber valving but the both are largely determined by your settings. In the ZR2 race truck, the adaptive shock absorbers can vary the shock valving continuously and is computer controlled rather than by preset modes in settings.
