Great news, have fun keeping it clean
I spent most of yesterday cleaning mine to an inch of it's life, then afterwards let one of my son's have a short drive and afterwards I almost cried when I saw the wheels
Yes, that really is my full size car, even if it looks like a toy.

Am I right in thinking that the braking is all regenerative when using one pedal driving?
I would find it an interesting exercise to repeat the car washing (aiming to accumulate a similar amount of rust on the discs) and the subsequent drive but use Single Pedal Control only. Does that amount of brake disc rust show Sonny Jim had no alternative than to brake hard at some point?
Did you accompany him on the 'short drive'? If not, maybe it's time to review the dash cam footage!

That's the rust off the disc which occurred after it was standing a day unused overnight, I doubt that it's brake pad dust.Jaws wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 12:57 pm Am I right in thinking that the braking is all regenerative when using one pedal driving?

I initially drove the car in standard drive mode to a nearby car park reasonably briskly and had to come to a complete stop a couple of times, so it's was probably all my fault in reality. This is because a few days earlier he reversed it only about 3m so that I could hear the low speed noise from outside and he scared himself by the sensitivity of the pedal, He drove very sedately, probably because I was with him.
