Brake pads R1 Concepts or Tesla
Reviews
Surprisingly, R1 Concepts Track Pads. They have been really great on the track (3800lb/310hp? car).
I left them on my daily since I am too lazy to change out the pads and they have been on for about 6 months and a few track days. They are great for the street and track but dusty as hell. They only make noise when it’s cold outside other wise they are fine.
Pros: great for street and track
Cons: dusty as hell, noise when cold
Have never changed my brakes or done an oil change.
Pros: no brake change needed
I had this in the Tesla a couple of times and this did the trick.
Pros: procedure fixed issue
150,000 miles on a Model Y, cabin air filter a few times, tires, checked the brake pads recently, they were fine.
Pros: brake pads fine
Mileage: 150000 km
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.
Pros: Lucid needed nothing
Cons: Tesla needed tires, brakes
Mileage: 80000 km
i went with R1 concept as well as brakes pads. Night and day difference.
Pros: night and day difference, significant improvement
Vehicle:
Toyota
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
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
just waring yall about this company.. they dont care about product quality and safety.. had an issue with my setup only 1 month outta warrty and they said pound sand .. they dont care .. brake pads are made in china and rotors now too.. the pads will fail you big time even if you have a daily driver... never again will i buy a product from them
Cons: poor quality, unsafe
