I have 2018 PP1 and I have from the get go been experiencing that the brakes do not have any strong bite. Not sure if I have to much expectation after reading and hearing what others are saying. I have to test another 18 if possible

Also I was taking some pictures of the car and saw this. As you can see it seems that the pads are applying to a rater small portion of the rotor.

Can you get a closer, clearer picture? What does the rotor on the other side of the car look like?

I sure can. The other side does not look the same from what I have seen.

Yeah, I'd want to pull the wheel off and pull the pad from the caliper (which is pretty easy with a drift punch and a socket wrench).

You can't expect uniform looking rotors, but that one is definitely a bit more wonky than usual.

On my 2018 with PP1, the brakes have been sensitive as hell from day one. You barely touch the pedal and the braking is strong and noticeable. I'd take it back to the dealer and let them check out the entire braking system; something isn't right.

I did on the second or third day of getting the car e-mail the tech at the dealer where I purchased the car and explained that they feel weak.....
