Brake pads Tesla or OEM Volkswagen
Still on the originals at 110K miles on my 2016 Model S, plenty of wear left.
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.
I’m at around 104k in my 3, on original pads but had an issue with the rear clips causing some squeaks and need to replace those.
VW of macon charged me over 600 for just the front pads and rotors - that's with a friend's and family deal because my dad used to work there. Apparently the OEM parts are super steep.
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!
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.
Just got back from the dealer who did an inspection and acknowledged the problem and that it was widespread. However, \"all they can do it tell you whether they're safe or not\". Of course, they're safe but they are also embarassing and, to my wife, anxiety producing thinking that the brakes are about to fail. It's an indictment on the factory that they would allow so many reported issues to go unaddressed, and that they would use ****ty brake pads.
