Brake pads OEM Subaru or Tesla

OEM Subaru Brake pads

I have a 2017 Forester XT with 131,000 miles - have only done routine maintenance and have had to replace brakes front and rear as well as both control arms and struts, all expected with this many miles on it. I plan to keep it for as long as I can. Love it!

Pros: love it, expected wear
Cons: replaced brakes, replaced control arms, replaced struts
Mileage: 131000 km

I do the minor maintenance myself: oil/filter, air filters, wiper blades.

I save enough $$ on the DIY portion, so I don't mind using my dealer for the other stuff: front & rear dif fluids, CVT fluid, brake fluid, brake pads, etc.

Pros: great work, trust dealer

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
