Disc brakes issue

[Chingy]

My car's brakes are worn out, and I'm worried about the cost of replacing them. I'm also worried that Polestar will charge me for the repairs when I return the car since I'm just leasing this. Has anyone else had this problem? I already set my One Pedal Driving to low already...

Maybe it's just surface rust since they don't get used much due to the regen braking system.

I had the same concern with my Polestar while leasing. I set One Pedal Driving to low too, but eventually had to replace the brakes. Luckily, it didn’t impact my return fees since the wear was normal. I’d suggest checking with the dealer just to be sure...

What do you mean worn out? Like your disc rotors?

Brake wear on a lease is always a bit of a gray area. It's understandable to be worried about the cost, especially since you're returning the car. While some wear and tear is expected, excessive brake wear might be considered damage, and you could potentially be charged for it. Since you've already turned down the one-pedal driving, that's good. Best to get the brakes checked by a trusted mechanic before your lease is up. They can give you an estimate and an honest assessment of whether the wear is normal or excessive so that way you'll have some documentation if Polestar tries to charge you. Check your lease agreement too, it might have details about what constitutes normal wear and tear.
