Brake pads OEM Subaru or Tesla

OEM Subaru Brake pads

Every single time I install non OEM brakes on my Subaru they warp within a year, my Subaru brakes always last me 3+years. I have replaced about a dozen brake kits in my driveways. The Subaru brakes are the best.

Pros: last 3+ years, best quality

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

OEM Subaru Brake pads

My 2022 outback wilderness went through 2 sets of pads and rotors in 35,000miles. They warranted the front rotors at 8,000, but didn’t replace the pads. Then they warranted all the rotors but not the pads the second time. However, I do drive fast and late brake.

Cons: frequent replacement
Mileage: 35000 km

Tesla Brake pads

I've had a lot of warranty repairs for my 2018 Tesla model 3: both sides for front upper control arms, both side rear suspension, a gear oil motor leaked, and an inverter. Paid out-of-pocket (not warranty) for both sides front wheel bearings, front brake rotors and pads, rear brake rotors and pads, front windshield, roof glass, and now paint and rust work around the fenders and rocket panels.

Cons: a lot more than expected
Mileage: 72000 km
