Brake pads OEM Honda or Tesla

OEM Honda Brake pads

2013-2015 have axle recalls…they’ll get fix free but you’ll need to invest in wheel hubs on the front due to the axles failing it’ll mess up the wheel hubs. Also the sensor on the battery it’s something about sending the correct volts to the alternator that’s a big issue and could cause electrical fires. Was also a recall. Besides that just check the car undercarriage for surface rust on calipers they fail a lot due to abunch of surface rust and debris getting into it over time and it’ll act like it’s seized up but really all the grease is just gone over time. Get good quality ceramic pads these cars squeal like a pig with the cheap ones. Also valve cover gasket is a must always will leak eventually every 30k miles or so. Best bet is getting a 2016 &up tbh

Pros: ceramic pads prevent squeal
Cons: cheap pads squeal

The CRVs I have are a 2010 with 210k miles. AC compressor every 100k miles and an alternator at 200. Brakes at 100k and 160k and 210k, the OEM brakes are amazing. Spark plugs at 100k and 200k and both times still looked new. Still drives amazing and is solid it's better than my 2017 CRV.

Pros: amazing OEM brakes, spark plugs looked new
Cons: AC compressor replacement, alternator replacement
Vehicle: Honda
Mileage: 210000 km

Nice. 2011 here (also bought new) but I did all four brakes at 68K miles. They had some life left in them according to the shop, but they just started feeling a tad soft, and my brake pedal was getting a little to close to the floor for comfort.

Pros: 15 years of ownership
Cons: AC is weak
Vehicle: Honda Fit
Mileage: 68000 km

Last week front passenger brake began making a metal on metal grinding noise. Assumed it was brakes because this vehicle has been a frequent brake pad/rotor-replacee due to the mileage of the car. The brake pads were very low. Drove the car around for about 30mins today and no grinding noise BUT the front passenger was very hot and didn’t smell good.

Pros: no grinding noise
Cons: passenger very hot, bad smell
Vehicle: Honda

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

After bringing the knuckle back, we reinstalled the brake pads. We had a difficult time getting the pads to sit correctly, specifically with the anti-rattle clips (prongs). Eventually, they seemed to seat properly, and we reattached the pads and caliper.

Cons: difficult to seat correctly
Vehicle: Honda Civic
Mileage: 250000 km

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
