I chalked it up to the brakes not being used much and rusty rotors, as just about everyone has said. I did notice that in reverse, the rusty grinding noise is more prevalent. I'm not going to worry about it.

My noise is absolutely coming from the rear. I also have the same rear rotor feel as you have described. My front rotors aren't a whole lot better because when I do most of my drives, they are longer distances and mostly highway. Bottom line is, I'm no longer going to worry about it.

For the record, I did try shifting into neutral before coming to a stop and the noise was there. Due to this, I fully believe the grinding noise I am hearing in that last few feet is the friction brakes and rust on the rotors, as several have said. Thanks everyone for jumping into this...

Great information, of which, I didn't know. This does help explain this situation. I will check the brake rotors after I drive. Seems like the actual rotors and pads should last a very long time, unless the driver is constantly slamming on the brakes!

Well, that's interesting information. May I ask if you know that to be 100% accurate about only the last few feet of stopping is the actual friction brakes? I'll assume in different situations of braking, the regen or friction will be determined by the needs and pressure applied. Do you know if...

I will respectfully disagree that it is "normal". I've been driving many years (over 40 years) and while I've heard my share of brake noises as well as done brake jobs on just about every common car, this is different. Rust Noise - Not this time. Vibration - Not this time. Quietness of the car...

I understand the theory about rotor noise and rust, however, I'm talking about not your typical noise, and again, it ONLY happens in the last 2 or so feet of a complete stop. Plus, this noise can be heard after a lengthy drive of over 60 miles, with braking included in the drive...

I haven't tried that, but will do and report back. I don't think it will be today.

Just sent you a private conversation with the details. Thanks!

Interesting... I don't have hardly any brake dust, front or back. We have a Porsche Macan in the stable and that is covered with brake dust all the time!

Haven't seen them but with only 3200 mostly highway miles, they better look brand new

I have had my GT since mid-Oct. I have about 3200 miles on it. I am hearing a noise from the rear of the car that sounds just like brakes grinding. I ONLY hear this noise during the last 2-4' of a complete stop. I NEVER hear it if I'm just braking for various reasons on the road. The noise never...

I guess I've either never noticed them, or they haven't shown up on my display. I'll have to keep closer watch. I see blue and green all the time on that meter (mostly blue ?)

Hmmm. I've kinda done both of those scenarios without giving it much thought, but I'm not sure I've ever seen gray bars. Can you explain more?

Has anyone calculated how long after the initial 5 second cutoff takes place that you might get another 5 seconds? For instance, if you're in whisper mode and you let off the accelerator, can you coast for a period of time and then get another 5 second boost? I haven't tried it myself, but now I...

Agree, except EVERYTHING in the set up was brand new. Sometimes things are just faulty I guess.

I believe I have a final verdict on the situation. Everyone seemed to want to know how it was resolved, so: Once I replaced the original GFCI with a different (also brand new) GFCI everything performed as expected. Result: The 1st GFCI apparently was defective. Thanks for all that respond and...

Professionally installed by a very accomplished electrician. I personally bought the GFCI breaker, so I know it was brand new. The non-GFCI was absolutely used, but that seems fine until we can get the GFCI one swapped out.

Update: The non-GFCI breaker performed perfectly without tripping. Will put a new GFCI into action when it comes in next week. Until then, I have to assume it was a faulty breaker. Will update again after that.

Right now, we swapped out the GFCI 50A breaker with a non GFCI breaker to see what happens over the timeframe previously mentioned. Ultimately, due to it being an "outside" outlet, a GFCI is code, regardless of whether or not the mobile charge has it built in or not (I did see your other reply...
