Aren't Tesla's brakes supposed to last a really long time because of regenerative braking anyway?

  If you drive in Hold mode, you rarely need to use the brake pedal. https://www.tesla.com/support/videos/stopping-mode https://www.tesla.com/support/videos/stopping-mode

    The brakes latch in Hold mode so while you aren't using the brakes, the car is using them. That being said, they don't engage until the vehicle has come to a complete stop so there's probably little if any wear incurred.

      Thanks for the clarification, edited my comment to indicate "brake pedal" :)

  That's actually why they need the lubrication. They are in use a lot less and so can seize up.
