I agree, I actually hope to never use my brakes because brake dust. But I'm just saying if you take regen out of the equation the brakes are undersized. That's why people are reporting what they are feeling. I'm not saying they are inadequate, just slightly small rotors for a 4000 pound car.
Could be, the same was claimed true of the original Roadster (mine had upgraded rotors all around) - I view it as primarily an economic decision on Tesla's part.. and that they figure regen is available 99% of the time <--- on that I would be curious what the actual percentage is since I've only ever topped off the charge in my car 1 time and don't recall brake performance at the time.
