Tesla brake grinding to a certain extend is actually normal or my car is also has a defect. Since I use my brake so rarely. It happens all the time that they rust and I need to brake a bit to have the grinding disappear.

I could imagine the rap thought that was what the owner was hearing.

your car doesn’t sound like this. squealing is normal, this is clearly metal on metal.

rust buildup is also removed within the first few applications of the brakes.

if your car sounds like this get it checked before you have problems.

You are correct. I should have such such a grinding sound in a new car warranted a second look.
