Frozen Parking Brake: -1 F

[YYZ-IAD]

I have been educated on the issue. I get annual brake lube and cleaning. I still experience frozen calipers at very cold temps. I appreciate the lecture but at -27F in the woods 200kms from home, it was time to innovate, not go to class. thanks and have a good day.

You might want to learn more about this issue. Although your car is post ‘17 production (Tesla have recall on earlier versions), it’s good to know that annual lubrication and cleaning of all calipers can save a huge amount of money.

I had no intention to be offensive but it was clearly you who started this thread three years ago. I do also drive in constant freezing conditions when the winter starts. And so far this was the first hiccup that the brakes have given to me. I also don’t have a garage and this repair that was in the other discussion was performed on one of the days early in the year where temperatures were above freezing.
My point was that people can overcome this if they plan their brake service prior winter. I was lazy and planned to get them lubricated this spring…

Hi -- I do appreciate the concern about how to make less likely this happens again. In my experience a brake cleaning/lube may have helped in the past but is not fool proof in really cold temps. thanks for advice.
