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

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.

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.

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX_dYmVoqtZ1p6csi=aNL28-svz5_hBT3v&t=1023

Learned my brake maintenance from SouthMainAuto on KZbin. 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".

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

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?

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.

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

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 4 ай бұрын

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

@harry-eto 15 күн бұрын

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.

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 8 ай бұрын

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
