Brake pads Centric or Tesla
Have never changed my brakes or done an oil change.
Pros: no brake change needed
Funny but I gave the Centric brand ceramic pads a shot and did not see any difference with Akebono. Same bute, no dust, no esting rotors. Been about 5 weeks now and abiut 1000 miles. No issues
Pros: same bite, no dust
Cons: no difference with Akebono
Mileage: 1000 km
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
Pastiglie freni: le cambi dopo 200.000 km
Pros: lunga durata
Mileage: 200000 km
I have a 2018 Tesla Model 3 with 60k miles on it. Never been serviced beyond tires replaced, cabin air filter replaced and adding window washer fluid. Brakes look brand new.
Pros: Brakes look brand new
Mileage: 96560 km
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.
Cons: residua on disk
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
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.
Cons: brake failure
