(Granted, not 100% sure this is was the case for 1st Gen roadster, but likely.)Those still have a hydraulic piston. The "electric" part is a pump and a solenoid valve that pressurize and control the hydraulic circuit.However, brake hydraulics are built to take hundred of atmospheres of pressure. They wouldn't even notice a little vacuum, nevermind explode or leak brake fluid. Not sure I get you. The problem I'd expect would be vacuum causing brake fluid to boil, forcing the pistons out if the rotors were missing. That would take almost no pressure.I don't see hydraulic brake fluid boiling just because of vacuum. Its not like blood or any similar fluid.
