Brakes very sloppy

[panthar]

I tried to test acceleration today , I realized that brakes are very sloppy , does your CT have similar behavior ? I understand it’s heavy vehicle, like model y , x are also not very light but still have excellent stopping power. Honda Van , f150 are also heavy ,

CT I felt like going on and on and not stopping.

Not sure how long you have owned or driven yours, I noticed bad stopping the first drive after delivery. The brakes were like brand new rotors, so I took it out to a clear road and did about 10 hard stops from 75 (With some cooling time in between) it was like night and day after that. Still not the best but acceptable

Who needs brakes? I have insurance

Brakes are for lesser mortals!

But in all seriousness, a good break in and brake test, as suggested by @Ri22 is a good idea. After new brakes, rotors, fluid flush, w/e it's always advisable to do a few brake tests. I'm assuming the factory isn't doing this on every vehicle.

Wasn't there a brake test comparison video? iirc CT didn't perform top tier, but wasn't alarming or anything. Will link if I find it

ABS was doing something here lol

We always have to break the new brakes on the track to achieve the best performance. I drove a 6000 pound car on the racetrack. The cyber truck is a bit heavier. It is not a regular road vehicle. Not gonna be like on a sedan or a light truck even.

There is a "brake burnish" function in the service menu.

Brakes ? The regen on CT is so good that brakes are generally unnecessary…blows away my model s on regen

Mine work fine even when needing rapid deceleration on a downhill pulling a loaded non breaked trailer. So, maybe try the option others have posted, it that doesn't work go to your dealer because they work great.
