Brake pads OEM Volvo or Tesla
my 2015 Model S is still on the original brake pads, never had an issue, and I'm at like 125k miles.
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.
2014 MS P85D 102,000 miles still on factory pads and rotors.
I have about 50k miles on my 2018 M3. Pads still seem to have plenty of life left.
Who the hell told you the C30 is unreliable. My mechanic started his own shop after working for the big regional volvo dealership for 15 years. He told me that of all the Volvos he ever worked on the C30 stood out significantly as being the most reliable. It was built on the P2 chassis, but since it came out years after the first P2 chassis cars, it was able to have a lot of significant improvements/upgrades/fixes over the other, older P2 cars. He told me that over time the mechanics would get so frustrated whenever a C30 came in, because every single time all it would need was a basic oil change or brake pad replacement, never any major work.
My only problem with it is the turning radius. The brakes aren't what they should be IMO for triple digit speeds but it is rare I drove at such speed being located in the USA.
Bought my gf a 96 850 turbo meticulously maintained, odo is broken at 312, car should be neering 500k, doesnt burn leak anything, drive amazing on the high and returns 21.3 mpg, only think i dont like about it is no off the line grunt and the brakes arent the best.
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.
The brakes made of wet cardboard is the only disappointment I have with my 2020 XC90.
