And had you gotten the regular brakes instead of the ceramic the very few times you did end up using them it would create a lot more brake dust.
Hey, cool. I just realized they made an icon for my car's old name
Balto: What do you mean exactly about cutting the rotors?

It seems like whenever you hit the regen button, the brakes are still applied, somewhat, so they'll probably still wear out in 7-8 years.

I think it's just engine braking with the IMA pancake motor when you hit the regen button. I don't see how it would activate the brakes, although it does activate the brake light.

I don't know, but it used to squeak when I hit that switch until I changed my brake pads, so I assumed it used then a little.

Mine does nothing  But yeah, when I just very gently
tap the brakes it seems to slow down way too fast for
the amount of pressure so it's definitely using the electric
motor to slow it down a good bit as well. |

Lol, did you just join over here to sell it since none of the IC crowd is biting?
This isn't the deep-pocket crowd you see over there, it'll be a tough sell at that price here bro
