Brake Pads

[Graystoke]

I thought the smaller rear brake calipers were the regenerative brakes? are these also the parking brakes? Are the brake pads the same even with Brembo calipers, or do the all have Brembo calipers. I find front and rear pads (no mention if Brembo makes a Difference) And the only other brake pads are refered to as Parking brake pads. Is there such a thing as A Tesla Service Manual ?

Regenerative braking is created by resistance in the motor(s). The smaller rear brake caliper is the parking brake that is activated when the car is in park.

Thanks, I've only had my car for a few months. Can anyone else tell me if all the regular brake pads are the same?

Not sure what you mean, but the front pads are different from the rear pads.

Do the Red Brembo brake calipers take different pads, or are the Tesla's using the same pads?

Same calipers, they just painted them red for performance models.
