Pros: quick launch, quiet drive

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

I had a 2008 Ford Fusion and drove by large long distance (commuted for a while between SFO and LA).

Eventually I moved to the East Coast and needed to do mandatory car checks (started in DC). When we finally moved to NYC I was at the garage and needed to do the inspection. The guy said he cannot let me pass, because the brake pads where at the limit. I ask him to change them and mentioned that this is the first replacement of my brake pads and he was shaking his head in disbelief because I had almost exactly 100k miles on my odometer. I explained to him that almost 90% of the mileage was long distance ( minimum of 200 miles on way trips) and he still was saying “He never saw anybody having their first brake pads replaced at 100k miles”

Pros: brake pads lasted 100k miles

Cons: brake pads at the limit

Vehicle: Ford Fusion

Mileage: 100000 km

Braking is mostly regenerative, instead of using the brake pads. Your brake pads will probably last between 100k - 200k miles.

Pros: regenerative braking

Vehicle: Ford Maverick

I bought a bike off a coworker and took it in to be serviced. Turns out the bike I bought was the equivalent of a model T Ford. They didn't make the brake pads for my model any more kinda old.

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
