No, it's an electric motor integrated into each rear caliper. Direct application, no cables or hydraulic. On Fri, Mar 19, 2021 at 1:32 PM Peri Hartman via EV wrote: > So, is that to be understood that there's a separate servo which pulls > on cables independently attached to the calipers ?

So, is that to be understood that there's a separate servo which pulls on cables independently attached to the calipers ? That would be similar to the leaf, though there's a button to actuate the servo. Peri << Annoyed by leaf blowers ? https://quietcleanseattle.org/ >> -- Original

This is incorrect. Tesla has no parking Pawl. Anytime you "park" the car both rear calipers are independently applied, as will both remain hard locked. It won't roll into the lake. On Fri, Mar 19, 2021 at 8:54 AM paul dove via EV wrote: > No parking brake. It has a break paw in the gear box

Thanks Bob Sounds like some good projects. A nieghbor built a trebuchet, threw mellons quite a distance. I haven’t read the book, just Tesla’s. Tesla confused spark length with radio transmitter efficacy. Stay Charged Mark Sent from my iPhone On Mar 19, 2021, at 1:24 PM, Bobby Keeland

Thanks Folks for helping me make my decision. The Ford Escape PHEV seems like it’s made of Unobtanium anyway (factory Covid shutdowns,layoffs). Maybe there’s a reason Ford’s stock remains in the single digits and Tesla $300+. I’ll pick up the Blue Tesla Y Saturday In Richmond, since I’m 65,
