There are just a few things that bug me.

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.
Lol. You have got to love the hippies in CA telling you that you're car is too loud. I'd tell them to bring an decibel meter and let's see how loud it is as I pass you.

Unless the HOA says that you can have a vehicle that's over a certain decibel then screw them. I hate HOAs....
