Pulled the trigger on my winter tire setup (Apex Black Friday sale ftw): Apex wheels VS-5RS 19x10” ET20 5x120/67.1mm VS-5RS 19x11” ET44 5x120/67.1mm (previously spec'd the 19x10.5 and Apex had a mistake on their fitment guide - IF you have Ceramic brakes the 10.5 in the rear requires a 16mm...

Like others have said, very sorry the issue happened to you as well. On the positive, I do want to share that even with all the BS early on with the car (this oil plug TSB and then having the entire front engine wiring loom replaced at 1500 miles) - my Blackwing has been driven over 16k miles...

Just got my Savage puddle lights installed and a few tips: As mentioned above - the lights come labeled L/R for proper orientation. Use a small flathead screwdriver and pry from the side of the light that faces the rear of the car, that is the side that has the release latch. To undo the...

You can reboot the car's computer system completely by holding down the power button for 10 seconds when the engine is off but the dash is in accessory mode. Probably a good idea to do after an OTA has been applied (not sure of all OTAs reboot the computer system - certainly can't hurt).

FYI - The trip odo disappearing is a feature of sorts - if you swipe the trip 'panel' all the way to the right the last panel is intentionally blank for those that want a cleaner looking dash. If you swipe back left the trip 1 and trip 2 information shows up as expected. If you unplug the...

We've found that most Blackwings aren't aligned correctly from the factory - so I'd strongly suggest having the alignment checked and adjusted to spec with or without the toe link swap done. :)

Took my '25 Blackwing out to Los Angeles and back to drive Ca Rt 33, attend Good Vibes Breakfast club on Angeles Crest and just enjoy the car as it was meant to be driven. 4162 miles over 8 days, zero issues, and nearly 21 mpg average. A friend brought his new Z06 out and back also. Jesus and...

They had to have pulled the update. Booked a service appointment after it failed 6 times. There is no reference to the update being available or being applied successfully. Glad I could beta test for GM. 🤷 Same version of software on the car now as before it prompted to update and then went away.

Update - I have attempted the update 6 times at various intervals and it consistently fails - booked a service appointment for next week at the dealership. There are a lot of little quirks with the infotainment I would love to see them fix - especially the Surround View functionality. 🤞

Just got a notification in the car that GM 33.00 update is ready. Parked the car in the driveway and plugged in trickle charger on the battery and let it run the install. Failed twice. Not confidence inspiring. Anybody else get it to install correctly and any major changes? Would be nice if...

Probably going towards a set of rear tires at some point. :)

Same for me - received 100k GM rewards points. Car now has over 6k miles without issue related to the oil plug. I did have a fuel rail pressure sensor failure at 5800 miles which caused the car to go into limp mode when driven aggressively - replaced under warranty and all good now...

There is also a setting (off by default) to overwrite old recordings when the memory card is full - make sure you change that too.

I'm flying to Vegas tomorrow for class on Wed/Thur of this week. I really wish for a carbon brakes, manual 2025 with upgraded seats *fingers crossed*. Anybody else scheduled this week? April 9th-10th.
