• What particulates? Brake dust?

    And tyre rubber IIRC- big source of micro plastic waste as it’s washed into drains. I’d think that regenerative braking would lead to an electric car producing far less brake dust than a conventional car, Porsche are concerned about the brake discs going very rusty for this reason on the Taycan.

  • Apparently the cause of brake pad change on Tesla is age out (ie outside of manufacturer lifetime spec) rather than wear out.

    I use the brake pedal on my Model 3 to start the car / engage a gear and maybe two or three times on and average 50 mile drive.

  • Is this due to engine braking or your journey just happens to not involve stops/traffic etc?
