Measure before ordering if the vehicle may have a towing or performance brake package. ### Anything special about servicing the brakes on a Tesla Model 3? Rotor hardware carries over in concept from the original car (Performance keeps larger ~355 mm fronts with 4-piston calipers). Regen does most braking. Inspect for rust/seizure rather than wear, and clean/lube calipers yearly in salt states. Electronic parking brake: use service mode for rear pads.. ## Sources - [Tesla Support, Vehicle Maintenance (Model 3 intervals: cabin filter 2 yr, brake fluid 4 yr, rotation 6,250 mi, no desiccant for heat-pump cars)](https://www.tesla.com/support/vehicle-maintenance) - [Wheel-Size.com, 2024 Tesla Model 3 OE fitments and 42 psi pressures](https://www.wheel-size.com/size/tesla/model-3/2024/) - [Mavis, 2025 Model 3 Performance staggered OE sizes (235/35R20 front, 275/30R20 rear)](https://www.mavis.com/vehicle/tesla/model-3/2025/performance/) - [NHTSA Part 573 report, recall 25V-002 (vehicle computer / rearview camera)](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2025/RCLRPT-25V002-6930.PDF) - [NHTSA Part 573 report, recall 24V-376 (seat belt reminder)](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24V376-3527.PDF) - [NHTSA Part 573 report, recall 24V-935 (TPMS warning light)](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24V935-1846.PDF) - [Tesla Shop.
