Brake pads OEM Subaru or Tesla
150,000 miles on a Model Y, cabin air filter a few times, tires, checked the brake pads recently, they were fine.
I owned a 2018 Model 3 Performance for ~80k miles and now a Lucid Air Touring with over 20k miles. Maintenance wise, I have spent money on a set of tires for the Tesla (let's call that $1500), brake pads and rotors on the Telsa ($600?) and windshield washer fluid. The Lucid has needed nothing over the past 17 months except for a tire patch.
Pastiglie freni: le cambi dopo 200.000 km
We have a 2019 Crosstrek Limited with Eyesight and no sunroof that my fianc\u00e9 bought new and now has ~78k miles on it. Zero mechanical issues, did the brakes at around 75k miles, and did have the head unit die earlier this year, which was not fun (Subaru of America thankfully warrantied the unit after reaching out to them). Interior wears pretty well considering she doesn't take care of the car much and she often takes our 2 large dogs around in it. For the money, I think they are hard to beat, even with the CVT.
I have a 2018 Tesla Model 3 with 60k miles on it. Never been serviced beyond tires replaced, cabin air filter replaced and adding window washer fluid. Brakes look brand new.
2017 STI 86,000 miles - I'm on my third set of rotors and 4th set of pads. It's definitely due to spirited driving.
The OE pads do really just suck. The system itself, however is just fine. You should try some different pads of the sportycar flavor (Porterfield R4S, Carbotech Bobcat, G-Lok GS-1, etc.) and see how you feel. I have had no problems with spirited street driving after a pad upgrade. The pedal is actually very well modulated and rather than hitting like a ton of bricks it allows you to control brake friction pretty nicely.
I had my brakes replaced in January of this year and the dealership didn't charge me. Within about 4 months they started squealing again. I took it back and they basically told me to pound sand. I shouldn't need a 3rd set of brakes on a car with 30k miles. This has been very disappointing and really soured my opinion of Subaru.
I can’t wait to get my brakes fixed under warranty. This will be the 4th brake job before 60k miles which is horrendous. Hopefully around Thanksgiving I’ll try to get her in. The shuddering, the noise etc are something I expect from a car with 200k miles, but my 14 year old Honda with 202k, which also has had 4 brake jobs, feels way better than my 2021 Ascent
They are the worst deal. They charge like what $93 now for an oil change? I can get a case of 12 quarts for like $24. And do it my self. I can’t even remember what they tried to quote me for a brake job. I got brakes and rotors for under $200.
