Do you know why all new vehicles have at least some mileage on them when you buy brand new?

Because every single car gets a road test and PDI by a dealer technician prior to being delivered; typically before being detailed and put on the lot even.

So this isn't a single mistake. This mistake happened once during the actual manufacturing process, then during the factory's quality control check before being sent out for shipping to the dealer performing the delivery, then again during the pre-delivery inspection and road test undertaken by the dealership, and then again when the customer raised the issue and was told "that's what the brakes on the Model 3 Performance sound like".

That's four times the company completely biffed it on a critical safety item.
