What Causes the Brake Noise in Tesla Vehicles?
1 Answers
Tesla brake noise can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Severely worn brake pads: Over time, brake pads thin out due to prolonged friction. Excessively thin brake pads can lead to reduced braking effectiveness. 2. Noise caused by brake pad material: Harder materials may produce squeaking sounds during braking and can also damage the brake discs. 3. Improper installation of the brake system: Loose or misaligned installation during assembly can result in brake noise. 4. Foreign objects in the brake disc: When driving on rough roads, wheels can easily fling stones or other debris. Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes can trap objects between the pad and disc, causing noise. 5. Severely worn brake discs: Sometimes, brake discs get scratched by foreign objects or impacted by other items, leaving uneven surfaces. Friction between the brake pads and these uneven surfaces can also generate noise.
