I think that’s the same “fix” they did for mine, but it’s still bad. Mines a little more rattly compared to the original poster, I’ll try and grab a video soon. It’s annoying.

Not sure how I feel about the pics I've seen. Here's a walk around video: And a pic:

Bumping this because I found someone on FB having the same noise. Anybody else? The guy on FB is getting his fuel pump and fuel lines replaced next week.

I've always thought my MPG was "low" on the Trip computers (Trip 1, Trip 2)... I reset Trip 2 and noticed it was in fact trending well below the numbers on the "Fuel Economy" screen. After a 450 mile trip my MPG is displayed as 16.8 MPG on the Trip 2 screen, but on my Fuel Economy screen it's...

Just posting to "second that" this method - I used it on aftermarket badges and got good results :)

It was actually done by a body shop that repaired a paint scratch for me. I asked them for advice on the CF scuff, and they did the taping while it was there as a courtesy. So I’m not 100% sure. But I think electrical tape would do the trick!

From earlier this week... can confirm, people are idiots!!!

@sethsquire (and @bigE1844) I scuffed mine like three weeks after getting the car and got a recommendation to just put matching black tape on both sides rather than replacing. You can barely tell the tape is there, and it’s easy to switch out if a new scuff occurs. I don’t even think about it...

Hey fellow Austinite. Go to Taurus Auto Detailing! Sean (the owner) is great to work with. He’s done my CT4V BW and at least one other that I know of.

What bothers me is that these comments are made without taking literally 5 minutes to just learn how the modes work. It's not that complex!

I found a DIY shop in Austin where you can rent a lift and you can also pay extra to have someone show you what to do, so I’ll prob do that the first time around

Mostly bc I don’t know shit about brakes 🤣 Any recommendations?

That’s where I’m at mentally with the rotors. I don’t see why they should be replaced given that they still have decent thickness and they’re not causing any brake vibrations. For future reference though was that the price for rotors on the 5 or the 4? I definitely would jump on them just to...

Yeah, I probably won’t be doing this full job at home. I like to DIY things when I can but not sure I want to mess around with brakes. What’s the recommended bedding procedure for these brakes?

The lowest price the mechanic could quote was $2850 (post-tax) for replacing the front pads and rotors. Still feels too high given that I can get the parts myself for $1800. I'm going to just kick the ball down the court here, and figure something out. He said I have a few thousand miles left of...

This second shop is also recommending replacement and is quoting the same price. Pads are at 4mm, and "hotspots are worn into the brake disc. Heat spots will cause noise with new pads." They are quoting labor as $472.50 and parts as $2697 (rotors 999 each and pad set 699), to replace front...

I noticed the C&D test car has over 30k miles on it with no mention of brake work needed, but they're also somehow averaging 21MPG so... not sure they are doing much other than highway driving.

Have an appointment Thursday morning with a shop I trust. Will report back!
