Tesla Brake Cleaning and Lubrication

Tesla Brake Cleaning and Lubrication

Electric cars primarily brake using the motor (regenerative braking). This is comfortable and economical, but it has a disadvantage: the mechanical brakes are used too little.

Brake pads and calipers do not often wear out on a Tesla, but they often seize.

Rust, dirt, and seized guide pins then cause:

• the brakes to rust, squeak, or grind

• the car to brake unevenly

• brake pads to wear unevenly

• this can lead to rejection at the MOT

At Tesland, we disassemble the brake calipers, thoroughly clean everything, and lubricate the moving parts with heat-resistant brake grease. This keeps the brakes running smoothly and prevents expensive repairs such as seized brake calipers or warped discs.

Advice: brake firmly once a week from 80-100 km/h back to almost standstill and have our brake cleaning and lubrication performed every 1 to 2 years, even if the car drives few kilometers.

A small service that can prevent high costs.
