What are the reasons for Tesla's brake failure?

Tesla brake failure can be caused by various factors, primarily brake disc wear and issues with brake fluid. The specific reasons are as follows: Brake disc wear: The wear of brake pads and brake discs leads to thinning of their thickness. For example, in disc brakes, the calipers (also known as brake pads) continuously clamp the brake disc for braking. Over time, friction causes the surfaces of the calipers and brake discs to become thinner, which increases the travel distance of the brake pedal. Tire wear and brake fluid: Issues related to tire wear and brake fluid. Relevant information about Tesla is as follows: Tesla's China factory:
When it comes to Tesla's braking issues, I believe it may involve multiple aspects. The most direct cause could be hardware failures in the braking system, such as sticking brake calipers or brake fluid line leaks. Last time, my relative's Model 3 experienced a stiff brake pedal, which was later diagnosed as a faulty vacuum booster pump. Then there's the electronic control system - Tesla's regenerative braking system has complex coordination logic with traditional brakes, and any software misjudgment could delay braking response. Additionally, issues like sensors covered in mud or corroded wiring connectors are often overlooked. I recommend owners check brake fluid condition and brake pad wear monthly.
