Brake pads POWER STOP or Tesla

Tesla Brake pads

I owned a 2018 Model 3 Performance for ~80k miles and now a Lucid Air Touring with over 20k miles. Maintenance wise, I have spent money on a set of tires for the Tesla (let's call that $1500), brake pads and rotors on the Telsa ($600?) and windshield washer fluid. The Lucid has needed nothing over the past 17 months except for a tire patch.

Pros: Lucid needed nothing
Cons: Tesla needed tires, brakes
Mileage: 80000 km

I run power stop on my IS250 for the past 5 years. They somehow still look brand new over the past 50k miles so they really do last.

Pros: look brand new, really last
Mileage: 50000 km

I put Powerstops (drilled/slotted) on my Sequoia and couldn’t be happier. And I’ve done a LOT brakes, typically using OEM, but research showed I could do better on the heavy Sequoia especially. ’ll be putting them on my GX and 4Runner next time they need brakes!

Pros: couldn't be happier

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
