I haven't been able to find any details on the Model 3 specifically but the Model S has computer controlled regenerative braking and a computer controlled electric brake booster for the mechanical brakes. So, okay, technically not a pure brake by wire system. But it's also a far cry from even a standard antilock braking system. Lots and lots of decisions being made by bits.
