Brake pads OEM Hyundai or Tesla
Reviews
I have a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe with 30,000 and still has the original pads and aren't worn out yet.
Pros: original pads, not worn
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
Mileage: 30000 km
My Tesla has huge rear brakes I hardly ever use. The factory brake pads still look brand new after all these miles. Rear brakes are pointless if you have regen braking.
Pros: brake pads look brand new
Cons: rear brakes are pointless
model-3S have been remarkably reliable, many past 200,000 miles have little issues, some still on the original brake pads.
Pros: remarkably reliable, long lasting
Mileage: 200000 km
I’ve put 140K miles on the Tesla. It’s still on its original brakes. Never been to a shop.
Pros: original after 140K miles, no shop visits
Mileage: 225308 km
Have never changed my brakes or done an oil change.
Pros: no brake change needed
Just did brakes and rotors in my 2022 model 3 with 189,000 km\nFirst big bill $3000
Pros: first big bill
Cons: expensive
Mileage: 189000 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
Late last year had the brakes completely fail on a 3 day old Pallisade and the dealer told the victims that yes it’s a known problem. No there’s not a fix, have a nice day and let them drive off in it. I basically begged them to pick anything else but they wouldn’t hear it, that is until they almost crashed with my two nephews in tow.
Cons: brakes completely fail, known problem, no fix
Vehicle:
Hyundai
Tesla model 3 brakes are the worst of any 300+hp car I've driven and really need the regen braking. The iboost system is probably maxed out already thats why they "fixed"the long stopping distance with a software update. Driving @high state of charge you will notice the reduced braking power because of the lack of regen.
Before the software update, needing 7 feet more than a ford f150 from 60mph to complete stop was just ridiculous.
Cons: worst brakes, reduced braking power, long stopping distance
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.
Cons: a lot more than expected
Mileage: 72000 km
