1. The whistling noise at very low throttle/vacuum, but I did an axle back so I can't hear it as much now, LOL
2. I really don't like the camera mirror. I can't get used to it. The zl1 isn't my daily.
3. The chrome trim up around over the gauges. It reflects the sun right into my eyes. Any idea how to fix this? Was thinking of removing that piece and painting it.
4. The car does get some negative attention. I live in the SF Bay Area, where literally 50% of new cars sold now are EVs. I've had people yell at me saying my car is way too loud. I don't care, but it's annoying. Also, I live in an HOA so I have to be kinda careful with starting the car or driving through the neighborhood.
5. The stock brakes cake the wheels in dust. I can wash the wheels thorougly, but they're filthy again after 50 miles. IDK the specific difference between the ZL1 and Tesla brakes, but I rarely even do the wheels on the Tesla when I wash it. They're never dirty unless it rains. Even the RS3, which has aftermarket rotors and pads, doesnt get nearly as dirty.
Luckily, the list of things I love about this car is much, much longer.

The Camaro has high performance pads. High performance pads tend to dust more. Your Tesla does not have high performance brake pads, and uses regenerative braking.
You can switch to aftermarket low dust pads, but you will be giving up some brake performance.
