They still use brake pads. The car still stops with friction between pads and rotors. Where there is friction, there is wear. Where there is wear, there is need for replacement parts. They may not need replacement as often (due to some reg. braking), but they need replacement.

This is incorrect. Vast majority of vehicle motion is returned to the battery, as the electric motors act like a generator in reverse. Brake pads on a Tesla literally never need to be replaced for lifetime of the car.
