brake pads when they get worn (should be a lot less frequent than an ICE car, some bolt owners go 100-150k+ without wearing through their first Original set!)
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.
the pads on my Bolt lasted 130,000 miles
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.
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.
I use one pedal and mine get like that after rain etc. a little rust and glazing. I just use the brake pedal consistently and drive around the block.
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.
1950 brakes weren't very good even when they were new.
I just got the blazer ev, and within a month the brakes (pedal, not actual brakes) start making noise every time I pushed on them and the wind noise increased.
