Brake pads Bendix or Tesla
I had this in the Tesla a couple of times and this did the trick.
Pros: procedure fixed issue
150,000 miles on a Model Y, cabin air filter a few times, tires, checked the brake pads recently, they were fine.
Pros: brake pads fine
Mileage: 150000 km
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.
Pros: Lucid needed nothing
Cons: Tesla needed tires, brakes
Mileage: 80000 km
I've used Bendix for decades now. I think they're a very underrated brand. I've never had any troubles out of them. I was a mechanic for almost 25 years. I've used just about every pad out there. For my personal stuff, I look for Bendix. The reasonable price and excellent quality is what I've always appreciated.
Pros: reasonable price, excellent quality
Bendix Ceramic. $20. OG rotors at 140k, they've been turned once and are within spec. Next time I'll grab the DD Centric rotor/pad combo off RockAuto for $55.
Pros: long lasting rotors
Mileage: 140000 km
I did Bendix on my ‘21 GT and same on my ‘22 GT1. RockAuto is where I got them. Really can’t tell a difference between OE and Bendix. And no more shudder.
Pros: no more shudder
Cons: no difference from OE
Vehicle:
Kia
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.
Mileage: 170000 km
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.
Cons: worst brakes, reduced braking power, long stopping distance
Bendix din kinabit sa akin na brake pads nung nagpaPMS ako last year.
Maingay kapag galing sa matagal na park pero tumatahimik din pag matagal ng tumatakbo.
Binalik ko sa shop. Nilinis nila ulit preno. Tumahimik naman pero after few weeks maingay na naman.
Cons: noisy when braking
During braking po maingay like sumisipol pero minsan naman hindi lalo na kapag maulan pero depende padin. Had my breaks cleaned, from pads to cleaning talaga like baklas. Ang gamit ko po is bendix na brake pads, makapal pa po pads.
Cons: squeaking noise during braking
