26000 mi

Rotors and pads rusted badly, replaced rotors and front pads and rear rotors. Had a shop replace rear pads, special knowledge needed on how the disable electric parking brake and retract pistons. Paid $40 for a mechanic to complete the job. Poor quality rotors and nasty snow melting spray on roads in winter. This is an EV with sophisticated one pedal driving, rarely used the brakes and they were still shot.
