Another positive about the Tesla 3

Like all Teslas, when you take your foot off the accelerator, the car goes into "regenerative braking". It takes an hour or so to get used to but essentially you almost never need the brake. The only time you need the brake is when you're rolling up a traffic light or a stop sign - and then it's only for the last 50 ft or so.
One of the reasons to own a Tesla is that it's got very few moving parts. And with this feature, the brakes ought to last a long time as well compared to other cars. One small caveat - this feature gets reduced in cold weather until the battery warms up - it damages the battery to force recharging in the cold.
Like I said before, this is the coolest car I've ever owned :)
