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.
Hi, I just attempt this job but at the front, on both wheel, there is a pin that just won't come out, no matter how hard I hit it. It's just stuck there. I even try heating it with a small household propane torch. No sir. It's kind of welded in place. I hit so hard the tip of the pins are starting to get flat. So I guess it means I have to leave it like that or change the whole galiper. My car is about 40K miles and 3.75 years, living in Canada where lots of salt is sprayed on the road. I should have done it way before and check every year. Thanks for the nice video. It's a bit annoying to hear everyone comments in the back, but it's part of the deal.
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. ruclips.net/video/CNz122uqBqE/видео.htmlsi=aNL28-svz5_hBT3v&t=1023
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.
Learned my brake maintenance from SouthMainAuto on RUclips. 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".
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.
hey brotha. I have a 2016 Model S P90D with 90,313 miles. Randomly yesterday I heard a squealing kind of sound. Come to find out it’s my front left…I took it to Tesla to see how much it costs for front brake pads and they’re $305 so I was going to buy them. But the Tesla service advisor at first was like you never really have to replace the pads due to regen brakes. But im curious, would the dirty rotors cause that? I guess what im asking is do you think my pads are still good? What would cause that squealing kind of sound? Thanks
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
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.
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.
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?
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.

@@domk2993 I'm no mechanic, but if Tesla says the pads are still good then I guess they are. Squealing sounds like something is dragging. The whole point that Tony (the mechanic in this video) was making is that salt and crud gets into the other parts like the calipers and the pistons. A good cleaning and lube will ensure that the pistons and calipers are still running free and not just flexing in a lop-sided manner. But Tesla should have been able to determine that as well as do a clean and lube service even without changing the pads if they're still good. I found on my 2015 MS P85D that the rear parking brake calipers seized up and then the parking brake pads were scraping on the rotors. That was an expensive fix.
@@0e-michigan well that’s the thing. I didn’t have the a Tesla service mechanic diagnose it. I’m talking about the service adviser at front desk…he was just telling me that Tesla rarely has ti replace brake pads. I think he was assuming that I didn’t know that lol. And then I walked him out front and showed him the squealing squeaking sound. I guess I’ll have to actually have Tesla service mechanic look only problem they’re backed up 😡. But that does make sense about needing a cleaning
My left front just started randomly making a squealing sound. So today I went to Tesla and i pick up the front brake pads tomorrow. Totaling $305.00 and I have a mechanic installing them for $140. So totaling: $445 for brand new front brake pads. I got 90,312 miles and I’ve never had to replace them until now. 2016 Model S P90D .
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.

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

Thanks Carl for posting this video. I have it as reference now.
Great timing! Watched 2X. I will be cleaning my brakes for 1st time in a couple of days. Tx
This is amazing thank you
Can you please post the performance raw original footage? it'd help alot thanks
good video, I learned some good tips!

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

Soft bristle brush with dishwasher fluid or soap should be used as per Tesla service manual.
Great point!
I'd say only people with some mechanical background should do brake jobs. By that, i don't mean the instructor here, he knows his stuff.

How about just removing friction brakes altogether?
They're pretty much useless on EVs.
Basic brake service 101.
n.b.: The lug nut torque is 175NM not 135NM.
He said 175, didn’t he?
that pug on the other car is about to slip
What is your opinion about a copper grease
Missed how do you disengage the rear E brake from not engaging during service?
That’s the problem I have run into. Towing mode or putting it into service mode.
Disconnect the wire.
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.
I use neutral every once in awhile
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
Disconnect the parking brake.
Lube the pins👆
Does he have a RUclips channel
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.

I read it as annually. Also alignment check and control arm checks.

Tesla should get rid of friction brakes altogether.
EVs don't need them.
As long as regen brakes can do the same job safely, I'm totally with you.
Where did you order your beak pads?

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

That’s a NOPE! Tesla’s require zero maintenance! They are not cars, they are iPads on wheels!
Clearly you are not a Tesla owner 😂
@@hc3550 I had a Model 3 and a Model S, but have sold them both and gone back to ICE because they are more reliable and lower total cost to own.
