Brake pads GALFER or Tesla
Galfer pads and rotors. I'm 210lb and can confidently slow down with rival flat mounts and 160mm rotors
Pros: confident slowing
I'm at 71k on the original pads for my 2021 Model 3. I dont seem to go through pads quite as fast as some people.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 71000 km
Still on the originals at 110K miles on my 2016 Model S, plenty of wear left.
Pros: long lasting, durable
Mileage: 110000 km
my 2015 Model S is still on the original brake pads, never had an issue, and I'm at like 125k miles.
Pros: long lasting, no issues
Mileage: 125000 km
Several teslas, both S and 3, and never had to replace them. I got used to one pedal driving. My 3 has almost 60k and brakes are almost new.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 60000 km
2014 MS P85D 102,000 miles still on factory pads and rotors.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 102000 km
I’m at around 104k in my 3, on original pads but had an issue with the rear clips causing some squeaks and need to replace those.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: squeaking, clip issue
Mileage: 104000 km
What type of maintenance do they need? Can you get parts for them (say brake pads) easily?
70,000 miles on the X because the emergency brake pad fell out. They told me to redo the whole set at $2,000 since the ebrake was out and it wasn’t covered under warranty.
Cons: emergency brake failed, expensive repair
Mileage: 70000 km
I just switched from OEM (Brembo HH Sintered, I think) pads to Galfer HH Sintered pads. I forgot to scotchbrite the discs and I think I glazed everything up during bedding-in process. I used scotchbrite like mad on the discs and sanded the pads with 220 grit until they were dull like when new, but the brakes seem to have the same behavior - heavy brakes test after 10 mile bed-in ride, the brakes plateau without getting to ABS trigger unless I squeeze like a motherfucker. The previous pads I could stand up on the front wheel with one or two fingers, so I feel like I've done something wrong.
Cons: brakes plateau, ABS trigger
