Brake pads Ferodo or Tesla

Ferodo Brake pads

Right now I use Ferodo DS 3.12 on RE71RS tires. They are pretty high bite and take some getting used to. I might go a rung lower on the friction scale and go with DS 1.11 next time because of that. But the DS 3.12 are unfadeable and very consistent.

Pros: unfadeable, consistent
Cons: high bite

Ferodo DS2500 are a great compromise pad. They’re a bit more on the race side of things but I never had issues with them being sketchy. Just get a bit of heat into them early to make sure they’re there.

Pros: great compromise pad
Vehicle: BMW

I'm going to tell you ferodo DS 1.11. Street driven on them a ton very easy on rotors. Endurance pad, much better than other things I see mentioned a lot like it blows my mind when people think RSL29s are better. I don't have an M3 but I have a 330ci which has the same brakes, and I've had lots of other cars from Corvettes to Mustangs and camaros. Have run that compound a ton.

Pros: easy on rotors, endurance pad

I think they work just fine. They squealed a bit even after running them in, it stopped however after the first track day where i properly cooked the brakes.

Pros: work just fine
Cons: squealing

Pros: Brakes look brand new
Mileage: 96560 km

Tesla Brake pads

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

Tesla Brake pads

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

Tesla model 3 brakes are the worst of any 300+hp car I've driven and really need the regen braking. The iboost system is probably maxed out already thats why they "fixed"the long stopping distance with a software update. Driving @high state of charge you will notice the reduced braking power because of the lack of regen.

Before the software update, needing 7 feet more than a ford f150 from 60mph to complete stop was just ridiculous.

Cons: worst brakes, reduced braking power, long stopping distance
