Brake pads ENDLESS or Tesla
on Endless CCrG pads , OEM discs and good fluid with stock brakes it took me multiple HARD stops with ABS engaging from 100-0k to get the pads to be even warm.
I run Endless ME20 on my E92 (it has an F80 brakes retrofit) and they work great. Done 12 track days now on the set and they still have over 50% material left, but I'm on my 2nd set of track tyres. Not all the track days have been full-on though.
I had this in the Tesla a couple of times and this did the trick.
Endless MX-72s are a good example.
I reckon Endless MX72+ are the go for daily driving or Project Mu.
150,000 miles on a Model Y, cabin air filter a few times, tires, checked the brake pads recently, they were fine.
I'm now on Endless ME20 pads, and they last longer, but still only about 20 sessions in the front. Rears are lasting maybe 2-3X as long. So I'm guessing that I am just overheating the fronts and getting above their happy temps. These pads are much harder on the rotors as well, and hard to get affordably in the USA.
The BIG difference is the brakes. In normal driving you're using one pedal driving, and this means two things. Firstly you're hardly ever using the actual brakes, almost all your braking in normal driving is through regen. Secondly because the regen braking is quite powerful, the actual physical brakes are relatively small. The brakes are great until they aren't, and they aren't great when you really need them.
I've had a lot of warranty repairs for my 2018 Tesla model 3: both sides for front upper control arms, both side rear suspension, a gear oil motor leaked, and an inverter. Paid out-of-pocket (not warranty) for both sides front wheel bearings, front brake rotors and pads, rear brake rotors and pads, front windshield, roof glass, and now paint and rust work around the fenders and rocket panels.
Endless pads which create a absurd amount of dust and also has a lot of noise under low breaking driving.
