Teslas are very smart. They sense when the pads may be wet and pulsate the brakes slightly to ensure they are perfect if needed. And even if not wet it’s programmed to exercise the hydraulic braking system occasionally. The tech is simply amazing. It’s so comforting knowing all the tech involved. And that over-the-air SW updates arrive when needed.
