When the rotor is cool, you can touch it, and run your finger over it to make sure whether it's grooved or not. Just looking at it, it looks typical of a brake that isn't getting much use. Rather than something grooving the rotor, it looks like spots where the pad isn't pressing against the rotor leaving a rust strip.24000km and one of my back rotors looks scraped.
Use max regen and barely use brakes - could something be stuck on the pad?

Regenerative breaking settings removed on 2021+ before someone says he doesn't have this option.Agree with the rest, try to hit the brakes pretty hard weekly. Turn regeneration brakes to low and use the brakes for a while till get cleaned up. Then switch back to standard.
All the regen 1-pedal driving does not give the standard brakes a workout - so you have too - from time to time.
You can charge to 100% which reduces regen and relies on the friction brakes. Also an emergency stop uses more friction brake since regen doesn't stop quickly enough in an emergency braking scenario.Regenerative breaking settings removed on 2021+ before someone says he doesn't have this option.

Corr: 100K miles, or more.You should use brakes every now and then (40-50 mile and with lite push to slow the car till 10) to remove rust and any debris.
If you clean them regally and drive normal. they should last you 50k miles or more.
true I just wanted to be realisticCorr: 100K miles, or more.
We are still on our original brake pads (2018 Model Y) and now at 100,484 miles
I have 41k miles on my 2021 3LR. The brakes are hardly worn. They will last the life of the car at the current wear rate.If you clean them regularly and drive normal. they should last you 50k miles or more
Carbon Ceramic at $2000 -$5000 but then again if you use your brakes at all they won’t obtain surface rustHas anyone seen an alloy of rotor material that has been used on brake rotors that might be more resistant to surface rust?
Shame that issue has not been solved and standardized to keep them more resistant to issues and help aesthetically.
Foot on the brake pedal once a week solves all the surface rust issues.Has anyone seen an alloy of rotor material that has been used on brake rotors that might be more resistant to surface rust?
