Even EVs need brake service, not because of wear, but because of disuse. Especially in areas with road salt, you need to inspect and clean your Tesla's brakes.

This goes for other EVs too, but in this case the Tesla Owner's Club of Michigan put on a clinic for their members to show them how to get the job done right. Former Tesla mechanic Tony H. shows us how it's done. Whether you do it yourself or have it done, make sure to clean your brakes especially if you live in a climate with snow and slush.
