Is this the brake pad issue? Not sure why this has happened to me as I don't use OPD and the car has not been sitting unused for more than a day after getting wet. It did go away after stopping though.

There's a service bulletin out for this issue. After a rainy day or car wash the pads stick to the rotors and when they break free parts of pad break off and start crumbling apart. That's what you hear. I had mine replaced with the new version of the pads.

Yes. That’s the sound of the brake pads rusting on to the discs. If you live near a hill when near the top going down out car in neutral and lightly press brakes to burn the rust off. Alternatively drive in reverse whilst doing same either way discs will engage.

So does this resolve on its own if I do this, or do I need to bring it in as well?

Sounds like there is a small stone between the brake disc shield and the disc.

It should resolve, mine did, but in some cases the brake pads can disintegrate in which case you will need to take it to the shop.

Small stone captured between the brake disc and the brake shield. Stop and reverse and the stone will drop.

You are absolutely right. That sound is so easily recognizable and has nothing to do with the brake pads.

It resolved pretty quickly and hasn't done it again. I'll keep monitoring and if it happens again, I'll call up the Space to have it checked out.
