Good question and I'm interested what the Tesla Service Centers charge. As I understand Tesla mobile does not do that as an option.
I had a non-Tesla EV mobile tech come to my house (Chicagoland) a couple of days ago and they charged $125.
Good thing too as my front brakes were not moving much so were not doing the heavy lifting per normal front and rear percentage of stopping power.
I use standard regen so I guess my regen was hiding any lower braking. This type of thing you would probably only really see a difference in would be true emergency braking needs. My front brakes worked but they were not optimum.
I'll do front brakes and rotors next year with more 'EV' oriented parts. I think the pads will be NRS. NRS-EV Brake Pads for Electric Vehicles - NRS Brakes ie. comments from the ev mobile tech.
Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 12,500 mi for cars in cold weather regions.
