Even EVs need brake service, not because of wear, but because of disuse. Especially in areas with road salt, you need to inspect and clean your Tesla's brakes.
This goes for other EVs too, but in this case the Tesla Owner's Club of Michigan put on a clinic for their members to show them how to get the job done right. Former Tesla mechanic Tony H. shows us how it's done. Whether you do it yourself or have it done, make sure to clean your brakes especially if you live in a climate with snow and slush.

This person explain service a million times better than anyone else I have seen in RU-vid. Well done. We need more video from him.

@chazchazzerton4382 9 месяцев назад

Great timing! Watched 2X. I will be cleaning my brakes for 1st time in a couple of days. Tx

@KK-ts1pm Год назад

Thanks Carl for posting this video. I have it as reference now.

@Car_Tism 7 месяцев назад

Instead of a speed lapse of the Performance brakes, could you post it regularly? Really would like to hear what he says and any tips for when I clean my M3P brakes later this season.

@hc3550 7 месяцев назад

This is amazing thank you

@thenetworkarchitectchannel Год назад

Super cool vid!!! Love watching. I had heard about using your EV breaks to keep the pads clean, but it is something else to see it up close and being worked on by a Tesla SvcEng. Thx for the awesome content.

Basic brake service 101. n.b.: The lug nut torque is 175NM not 135NM.

@tommyh1859 3 месяца назад

Lube the pins👆

@chezchezchezchez 10 месяцев назад

Wow. This is gold! Thanks so much for sharing this. My 2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range is almost 2 years old. Maybe i should do this?

His definition of a "Floating Rotor" is incorrect. He may be referring to a sliding caliper. Floating rotors are by design two-piece rotors attaching a rotor ring to a rotor hub assembly, benefits for this is removing unsprung weight. You can mount two-piece floating rotors on both a sliding OR multi-piston caliper. While we're talking about this. All tesla models have Front Brembo 4 piston calipers. 2023+ Model 3 and Y share the same front Brembo 4-piston calipers (Performance is red). Rear Calipers for both are Mando Sliding calipers. In fact pre-2023 rear Model 3 and Y performance calipers are also Brembo Sliding single piston calipers. The only difference is a molded front cover. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CNz122uqBqE.htmlsi=aNL28-svz5_hBT3v&t=1023

Learned my brake maintenance from SouthMainAuto on RU-vid. He's in upstate NY and deals with the worst elements for brakes. He does not lube the ears of his brake pads on the back as found on non-P Teslas. He finds it attracts more dirt to jam them up. What he does lube is the metal channel of the the caliper the brake clips sit in. That's where rust can build up and push up the clips to seize the pads. When I did the first brake job on my Model 3 I found very little lube on the rear caliper slide pins out of the factory, making a lube of the pins on the first service recommended. This is also what my MST (mobile service tech) said to me: "I wish Tesla would not dry-pack the caliper pins during assembly, as it leaves them susceptible to winter salt and ice on our roads. Once they are lubed, the service may be done every other year if your interim mileage is under 20K km".

@hc3550 6 месяцев назад

Honestly this is what I was thinking too…ima lube those up

@dzsink 7 месяцев назад

It is a great video. I think for the celaning process no break cleaner and wire brushes should be used. It will break down the paint and even if the slides are lubricated it will cause corrosion and binding/seizing of brake backing pad to caliper slide. Maybe a good time to check brake rotor run out neasurement too.

@dzsink 7 месяцев назад

Soft bristle brush with dishwasher fluid or soap should be used as per Tesla service manual.

@0e-michigan 6 месяцев назад

Great point!

What is your opinion about a copper grease

@Martinko_Pcik 4 месяца назад

First time someone admits EVs need regular brake service. Since I have the same problems on my Prius I suspected it to be the case. I guess 4 drum brakes would be simpler on maintenance

@themonsterunderyourbed9408 3 дня назад

How about just removing friction brakes altogether? They're pretty much useless on EVs.

@stunnakidd123 4 дня назад

Where did you order your beak pads?

@ChrisGageTX 9 месяцев назад

I use neutral every once in awhile

Does he have a RU-vid channel

@genderlessyoutubefanperson 10 месяцев назад

2019 M3P....so much better and classy than 2023. The wheels, door handles, chrome trim, etc. Also you have real Brembo brakes on the back , not some cheap undersized Korean calipers and disks with red covers on MYP.

How to get the rear brake piston to compress in a model Y performance? The parking brake activated on me when the caliper was off and pads were out

@themonsterunderyourbed9408 3 дня назад

Disconnect the parking brake.

@mspaniard1 4 месяца назад

Tesla recommends brake caliper cleaning and lubing every 2yrs or every year if living in snow conditions where salt is used on highways. A tech came out for my 2yr caliper cleaning and lubrication and did not perform the service saying it’s unnecessary in warm climates. Is that correct?

@0e-michigan 4 месяца назад

I can't speak for Tesla, but getting the grit and salt out is clearly more of an issue in cold climates, but it never hurts to get brake dust out, check that the caliper pistons are moving properly and making sure the brake pads slide as they should. I'm going to have my Kia Niro EV brakes done after two winters this coming spring.

@robertshaw5914 7 месяцев назад

Missed how do you disengage the rear E brake from not engaging during service?

@ZackScriven 4 месяца назад

That’s the problem I have run into. Towing mode or putting it into service mode.

@themonsterunderyourbed9408 3 дня назад

Disconnect the wire.

@Northbaylandscaping 8 месяцев назад

Here's a tip don't use aftermarket anti-rattle clips on the front brembos or at least check them. They're not as strong as the oem and you will get rattle noise when hitting bumps. The rear anti-rattle clips for the mando calipers are hard to find.

@Elaba_ 5 месяцев назад

Are Tesla brake pad asbestos free? It is still allowed in the US.

@themonsterunderyourbed9408 3 дня назад

Tesla should get rid of friction brakes altogether. EVs don't need them.

@0e-michigan День назад

As long as regen brakes can do the same job safely, I'm totally with you.

@aerogarden7160 3 месяца назад

I thought Alan said no need tesla service...

@themonsterunderyourbed9408 3 дня назад

No ENGINE service. -No oil changes -No filter changes -No belt changes -No spark plug changes -No coolant changes -No exhaust system changes -No starter motor -No fuel pump Honestly, I can't wait until they do away with friction brakes altogether and we ONLY use the electric motor to stop. Brakes are pretty much useless in EVs.
