Brake pads STOPTECH or Tesla

Have never changed my brakes or done an oil change.

I'm partial to StopTech Sports

Stoptech sports are the best dual use pad I’ve used…they’re great for fast street driving and they last.

I had this in the Tesla a couple of times and this did the trick.

150,000 miles on a Model Y, cabin air filter a few times, tires, checked the brake pads recently, they were fine.

I ended up buying stoptech all around and they lsst a twice longer and have a better bite for street use.

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.

Just did brakes and rotors in my 2022 model 3 with 189,000 km\nFirst big bill $3000

The other thing to consider is if you(r dad) use the default stopping mode for brakes and never press brakes normally, the moment you actually need the brakes they might not be in the best shape because there's some accumulated residua on the disk and what not.

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.
