Brake pads OEM FORD or OEM Audi
Brakes and rotors at 30K miles??? I just replaced mine on my 2016 A4 at 75K and the still had plenty of wear left. Yes, I drive aggressively too.
I had a 2008 Ford Fusion and drove by large long distance (commuted for a while between SFO and LA).
Eventually I moved to the East Coast and needed to do mandatory car checks (started in DC). When we finally moved to NYC I was at the garage and needed to do the inspection. The guy said he cannot let me pass, because the brake pads where at the limit. I ask him to change them and mentioned that this is the first replacement of my brake pads and he was shaking his head in disbelief because I had almost exactly 100k miles on my odometer. I explained to him that almost 90% of the mileage was long distance ( minimum of 200 miles on way trips) and he still was saying “He never saw anybody having their first brake pads replaced at 100k miles”
Braking is mostly regenerative, instead of using the brake pads. Your brake pads will probably last between 100k - 200k miles.
I paid $750 for it in 2007. It had a lunar odometer (north of 400,000) and the gas gauge stopped working so you had to write the mileage on a sticky note and slap it on the dash. The seat belts were *sawed off* and all the safety features deactivated. The brakes were high-dollar Brembos and I owned it for three years as a scrap hauler and fishing access get-to-er. I sold it for... $750. To a teenager. He probably still has it. 91-95 F-150 for life. Those things were TANKS and will survive the apocalypse, same with the Chevy 1500s of the day, especially the Silverados.
No. Looks perfectly normal.
Brake dust- so much brake dust.
Upgraded brake pads can be louder and dirtier.
When we bought our Ford lightening... the sales person told me with a strait face "people think that evs go through less brakes, but really its actually rhe opposite" when trying to sell me a maintenance package...
Yung experience ko, kahit hindi madiin ang tapak sa brake, napapa move forward yung mga pasahero.
Ford Territory! The brakes felt spongey
