Brake pads Tesla or Duralast
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.
Pros: Brakes look brand new
Mileage: 96560 km
I had the same problem. Just ordered ceramic pads from auto zone and swapped them out. Car is smooth and quiet now. I can’t stress enough the difference it makes for anyone dealing with the noisy rough brakes.
Pros: smooth, quiet brakes
Cons: noisy, rough brakes
Part number: DG2074 AND 2255
I bought Dynamic Friction for my wife’s car and have been happy with them.
Pros: happy with them
I have Dynamic Friction 5000 low metallic pads, better bite than ceramics and no brake judder.
Pros: better bite, no judder
With regenerative braking, you almost never need to replace brake pads.
Pros: regenerative braking
I recently got the dynamic friction rotors and pad kit to replace the oem rears and I like them so far. It’s only been about 500 miles, but in my opinion are a little better at stopping compared to the oem. Plus the price was really good.
Pros: better stopping, good price
Mileage: 500 km
The BIG difference is the brakes. In normal driving you're using one pedal driving, and this means two things. Firstly you're hardly ever using the actual brakes, almost all your braking in normal driving is through regen. Secondly because the regen braking is quite powerful, the actual physical brakes are relatively small. The brakes are great until they aren't, and they aren't great when you really need them.
Pros: great until normal driving
Cons: poor braking, heavy squidgy
I just had to do brakes and ball joints on my 2016 Model S (some rough roads, and calipers were seizing from winter corrosion, I live in the state of Maine, US). 100K miles, 160Kkm (160Mm?).
Pros: windshield spritzer
Cons: calipers were seizing
Mileage: 160000 km
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
Got a 60k MYLR, my pads and rotors seem fine but I keep getting this super loud squeal sound when I brake.
Cons: loud squealing
Mileage: 60000 km
