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.
OEM is never bad for the brakes, Raybestos and EBC are considered some of the best for Xterras, both give you plenty of different options to go with as well. Personally, Raybestos was easy and shipped within a week
Model 1168, Raybestos brakes. The charms inside are a brake rotor and brake pad. Didnt come with a box, but its pretty nice. Anyway, it was totally worth $180..
Raybestos E3 for street use.
They're some of the only cheap semi-metallics around. They work great for the money.
model-3S have been remarkably reliable, many past 200,000 miles have little issues, some still on the original brake pads.
These cars are notorious for eating rear brakes. The pads are just so small. I get Raybestos on Rockauto.
Oh, I did have rust pop on one of the original brake pads so I had to replace that this spring - very little pad wear though!
To be fair Tesla brakes are not great. Combined with regen? Sure it’s adequate, but drive a German vehicle and see what brakes are about.
I had a colleague with brake failure on a model 3. The first thing he did after insurance paying for the crash, and hearing he'd be out of his car for at least 3 months was to order a real car, a Mazda.
