Brake pads ATE or Tesla

My father has a 2019 MYP and he still has the original brakes that came with the car new and just passed the 100k miles mark.

I'm at 71k on the original pads for my 2021 Model 3. I dont seem to go through pads quite as fast as some people.

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.

Even the parts prices are on a different level, ie brake pads with a Volvo logo on them - 160€, with ATE (they allegedly produce the original pads too) logo - 60€...

Get ATE or Textar pads, buying more known pads because they are "performance brakes (which you see at the register)" is basically throwing money away just because "they are expensive so they must be better" and is idiotic imo.

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!
