    I've put them on the front wheels of my other vehicle. They're even solar powered.

    Kind of nice, actually. I can even activate them by remote control. I don't even have to be in the vehicle!

    Electric brakes? That means I can make them voice activated just like my throttle!

    My dreams of yelling giddy up and woaaaaaaaah to control my truck will finally be realized.

    If you want to be REALLY economical and environmentally friendly why not go with the Fred Flintstone braking mod.

    That's actually not a bad idea. If brake dust is causing the OP so much heartache Tesla's regen braking pretty much eliminates brake wear and the dust that comes with it. And, technically the brakes on a Tesla are electric, so there is that.

    Dude, it's not even Friday.

    I really hope this is a troll, but upgrade from the dust-happy stock pads if dust is that big of an issue. Aside from a huge performance increase, the Powerstop Z36's dust much better.
