When you need Tesla brake repair or Tesla brake maintenance services in Franklin, MA, Advanced European Repair is here to help. In general, manufacturers like Tesla advise that rear and front brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12,000 miles or 12 months. That includes inspecting the parking brake. Maintaining your Tesla’s brakes is especially important in New England, where road salt used to prevent ice can accelerate brake wear and corrosion, even with the benefits of regenerative braking. Regular Tesla brake inspections and Tesla brake maintenance are essential to ensure your Tesla’s advanced braking systems function properly, keeping you and your family safe.
What Can Cause Wear to Tesla Brakes?
- Road Salt and Corrosion: Salt used on roads in winter can corrode brake components, leading to accelerated brake wear and reduced braking efficiency.
- High-Speed Driving and Braking: Driving at high speeds and braking sharply can cause excessive heat and wear on the brakes.
- Moisture and Debris: Exposure to moisture, dirt, and debris can lead to rust, brake corrosion, or contamination of brake components, reducing their lifespan.
- Lack of Regular Maintenance: Skipping regular Tesla brake inspections and maintenance can allow minor issues to escalate, causing premature brake wear and potential safety risks.
