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
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
I just dropped $5500 fuckin dollars on my 19 X Performance for brakes and suspension at the service center. Had some ugly noises going on but I was floored when they gave me the estimate. I went 90k on my Prius before doing the brakes and that’s w waaaay less regen! So pissed. The estimate was actually $7500 w tires, stupid fuckin 22s - someone please learn from my mistake and don’t get those god awful heavy wheels!
Cons: expensive repair, noisy brakes
Mileage: 70000 km
