So if I'm understanding things from a quick scan of the comments, he took a flood salvaged car, hacked it up, installed an aftermarket big brake kit (90% of which are for show), reused old fluid, and decided to test the brakes on a high speed road course without any safety gear.

The number of piss poor decisions was staggering. And I doubt dot3 fluid was the main cause - I bet he had no idea how (un)well his brakes worked because the Tesla was mostly regenerating until the battery started getting warm at which point it suddenly relied on his ****ty brake job.
