I dropped my Taycan off at the dealership for service, and they sent me the standard wear-and-tear inspection report.
The rear brake pads measured 7 mm, which they marked as green, but the car only has 9,000 miles on it. Front pads measured 9 mm. Curious how other Taycan owners are tracking on rear pad wear. Does 7 mm at 9,000 miles seem normal, or are others seeing less wear at similar mileage?

Yes, this is normal. Brake pads are only replaced due to age at a 6 year mark and never for wear, so do not get into the dealer trap to replace brake pads.
