Brake pads Hawk Performance or Tesla

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.

Then replace the pads with Hawk performance ceramic pads.

I'd go for either Hawk HPS 5.0

After researching, I'm going to go for the Hawk HPS 5.0 next time I go to the track or wear my current ones down. From what I've read, it's a comparable to the oem feel, but produces less dust, which sounds really nice for my occasional trip to the track and for keeping my wheels clean.

model-3S have been remarkably reliable, many past 200,000 miles have little issues, some still on the original brake pads.

The rotors I used are DBA 4000 series T3, and pads are HAWK HPS 5.0

Just did brakes and rotors in my 2022 model 3 with 189,000 km\nFirst big bill $3000

The other thing to consider is if you(r dad) use the default stopping mode for brakes and never press brakes normally, the moment you actually need the brakes they might not be in the best shape because there's some accumulated residua on the disk and what not.

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.

I get less than one race out of Hawk Blue. Had to replace at around 28 hours.
