That really doesn’t happen from wear. Brakes only surprise fail on long descents where the driver doesn’t use engine braking. If brakes fail like that you have the hand brake/e-brake
EVs of course use regen braking almost always in that situation - though they can’t when their battery is full - my car expects to arrive at the coast at 20% battery, at the top of the coastal mountain range it’s at 15%, but at the beach it has regenerated to 20%
The rest I generally agree. We need better data, especially better data from someone other than Tesla.
