Caliper pins dry or lubricated from factory

[Bvee]

Has anyone inspected the brakes on the MY yet? I want to know if they are dry-packing the caliper pins or have they started lubricating them from the factory on the Y.

I will have to look at mine when the Mission auto dielectric silicone grease arrives.

Bjorn out of Norway was having some consumption issues on his model 3, seems like the rear rotors were rubbing and getting hot. The 2 fronts were cold and fine. The shop probably didn’t check to see if the pins needed any lube.

That would be super helpful to learn, thank you! I am still on the fence about trying to do the brake service after winter myself or paying the mobile tech $175+tax for it. Have to rotate/switch tires anyway and already have everything except lubricant in the garage.
