model-3S have been remarkably reliable, many past 200,000 miles have little issues, some still on the original brake pads.
If you’ve still got UFO fronts the part number for pads is ATE 602847 (13.0460-2847.2)
I’ve put 140K miles on the Tesla. It’s still on its original brakes. Never been to a shop.
Have never changed my brakes or done an oil change.
I had this in the Tesla a couple of times and this did the trick.
150,000 miles on a Model Y, cabin air filter a few times, tires, checked the brake pads recently, they were fine.
I owned a 2018 Model 3 Performance for ~80k miles and now a Lucid Air Touring with over 20k miles. Maintenance wise, I have spent money on a set of tires for the Tesla (let's call that $1500), brake pads and rotors on the Telsa ($600?) and windshield washer fluid. The Lucid has needed nothing over the past 17 months except for a tire patch.
Just did brakes and rotors in my 2022 model 3 with 189,000 km\nFirst big bill $3000
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.
Tesla model 3 brakes are the worst of any 300+hp car I've driven and really need the regen braking. The iboost system is probably maxed out already thats why they "fixed"the long stopping distance with a software update. Driving @high state of charge you will notice the reduced braking power because of the lack of regen.
Before the software update, needing 7 feet more than a ford f150 from 60mph to complete stop was just ridiculous.
