Anyone experience any brake issues yet?

I'm 250 miles into my car and had some issues with my model 3 that I needed to take in for repair. I drove a loaner Model S and noticed that the brakes were excellent and made no sound. I did notice that with my model 3, it doesn't necessarily make a grinding noise but there is some "frictional" noise that when I press on the brakes, you can hear it. I braked hard on the S to try it out and it made zero sound. Is anyone else experiencing this on their 3? Is it because the brake pads are new?

Humidity and colder temps can create a fine rust on the surface of the rotor which can make noise first time used since accumulating .. don't really have that in Ca where I am so no sound.. but have heard it on other cars especially when we were in Boston area

I have a rattling noise coming from my front right brake that sounds almost like there is something loose in the caliper rattling around. A mobile tech couldn't diagnose it so I have to bring it in this week so they can work on it.

I posted a video of the noise if you search for threads started by me. I believe a few other people have reported noises from the brakes when turning the wheels, etc., and it has turned out to be things like clips being loose.

Mine is even when you press the brake noise slightly it has a frictional sound. Does anyone press the model 3 brakes and get no noise at all?

We may have a rock or something stuck between a brake caliper and motor, as our Model 3 is making an awful grinding sound that's most noticeable at low speeds. A mobile service person is supposed to come and check it out.

I noticed this with my model 3 performance. I think it's because the regen is so good I rarely sometimes never use the brakes for days or weeks. A slight rust will build up on the rotors and the first time I do brake, it's not the best performance. One good stop and it's back to awesome.

Yes, I hear a bit of sound when braking- almost a slight hiss- it's quiet enough I only hear it when the radio is off. I've heard this on other cars from time to time.

Brake sounds normal on mine.

Every single morning when I'm pulling out of my driveway, I get that high pitched squeak. But only when I'm pulling out of my driveway. It would never do that before.
