Mileage: 180000 km

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.

Pros: brake pads look brand new
Cons: rear brakes are pointless

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!

Pros: very little wear
Cons: rust pop

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.

Pros: adequate with regen
Cons: brakes are not great

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.

Cons: brake failure
