Default Parking brake issue

Anybody experiencing free play in the drivetrain after setting parking brake?

Very slightly. If I'm checking torque on lug nuts the car will rock very slightly. If I do the same with no parking brake on the car rocks significantly more.

Thanks for your reply. After I set the parking brake, the car moves 2 or 3 inches either way depending on the slope. It's a '26 Nori Green Bespoke that I finally took delivery on Nov. 22. It's going to the dealer this Friday for the 1000 mile inspection and an oil & filter change.
Wish me luck!

I've had that intermittently, obviously more so on an incline than a flat surface.
