You can mark whatever you want with your bright and bold marker. It doesn't make your argument more sound.

If you are worried about the brakes, brake hard occasionally to avoid rust.

Alternatively, you can charge the car up to near 100% if you go on a roadtrip. Regen will be limited initially so you will be able to use your brakes without braking hard.

If you are still worried about the brakes, go to an independent car mechanic regularly and have them checked.

It's as easy as that.

Nobody is preventing you from doing service even though it's not deemed necessary by the vendor.

Your comment doesn't seem to be about the actual issue but about some form of generalized Tesla brand hatred.

I'm not a person who keeps grudges, or hates things in general. I just take note what companies do, and change my choices based on my observation. VAG also took a good hit after their dieselgate scandal, and not recovered much in my mind, for example. Stellantis is also not doing well, and I was considering a vehicle from them, so I'm not so sure anymore.

I don't live in a flat city, of course I'm worried and aware of my brakes all times, and know how to condition and refresh my brakes.

My problem is Tesla's service policies, like ignoring "recommended" checks on a car. Oh sorry, I can go to an independent mechanic to further spend my non-existing time, you're right.

What's more interesting is Tesla not having brake pad thickness warnings, which our old 1999 Fiat Tipo had.

Being apologetic about problems doesn't make your arguments any more sound, either.

> I just take note what companies do

No. You are obviously not doing that. You take note of what the media emphasizes in an obvious press campaign that oversimplifies the actual information to a degree where it becomes borderline useless in order to reach political goals. This is not the same.
