This car saw maybe 5 days of rain total in 5 months of ownership in a warm weather climate of Central California.

Is this normal?

Yes, especially with 1 pedal. They are plain old rusting Iron.

Those rotors look pristine. The rust on the central hub part that the pads don't touch is completely normal. You should see what my rotors look like after a VT winter.

No that's not normal ....mine have way more rust. But I suppose the humid FL climate is to blame.

Definitely NOT normal. Way to clean. You need some snow and road salt to even begin to approach normal.

😅😆 thanks all. I guess I just wanted to show off these clean rotors.

I don't use 1 pedal drive btw. And am quite heavy footed on the road. But try to break with anticipation.
