Dropped car off at SC this morning and got some interesting "news".

So It in for front half shaft replacement due to noise under heavy acceleration. Now I have gotten to know the SAs there over the years (buy them pizza every now and then) and they take really good care of me. So as I was getting ready to pull out in the loaner car and my SA walked up and told me that he had forgot to mention that since I have a Plaid, I have the option to use new updated "more robust" (his words) half shafts. He said he needed to let me know because the new ones apparently feed more of the regen sound into the cabin when "pulling into parking spaces only" (once again, his words).

i asked him how loud could it be??? thinking jeez, he actually stopped me to tell me this ?? lol
At any rate, I opted for them so I will post back about it.

But more importantly, has anyone heard of this?

BTW- I'm also getting supposedly a new HEPA filter and apparently, they have upgraded the actual filter material too (not just the case).
