Reviews of Tesla brake pads

Will not go back. Love to quick launch, quiet drive, no maintenance. Still on original disks and PADS at 180,000 km (120k miles)

Oh, I did have rust pop on one of the original brake pads so I had to replace that this spring - very little pad wear though!

To be fair Tesla brakes are not great. Combined with regen? Sure it’s adequate, but drive a German vehicle and see what brakes are about.

My Tesla has huge rear brakes I hardly ever use. The factory brake pads still look brand new after all these miles. Rear brakes are pointless if you have regen braking.

Just did brakes and rotors in my 2022 model 3 with 189,000 km\nFirst big bill $3000

I had a colleague with brake failure on a model 3. The first thing he did after insurance paying for the crash, and hearing he'd be out of his car for at least 3 months was to order a real car, a Mazda.

The other thing to consider is if you(r dad) use the default stopping mode for brakes and never press brakes normally, the moment you actually need the brakes they might not be in the best shape because there's some accumulated residua on the disk and what not.

model-3S have been remarkably reliable, many past 200,000 miles have little issues, some still on the original brake pads.

Rear motor oil pump. Plus the famous Tesla control arms and heat pump. A brake pad also disintegrated into nothing, so that was a weird one.

I’ve put 140K miles on the Tesla. It’s still on its original brakes. Never been to a shop.
